This variety of burdock root is from Japan. Burdock is used in Japanese as well as macrobiotic cooking and is also known for its cancer fighting properties. It is a tasty root vegetable and goes well with parsnips and other root vegetables.
It is one of the herbs in the essiac remedy. It takes an entire year to grow it is started in the fall and harvested the following fall. We use a vegetable brush to scrub the roots,then slice them thinly on a diagonal to use then in soups and stir frys.
All of our seed offerings were grown here. We have been seed savers for 20 years. Our seeds are packaged in original art packets, hand folded with 100% recycled paper. Instructions for growing are not on the packs but are on the listing under seed template. Books on gardening as well as many catalogs carry general information on growing seeds. I am available by e-mail or phone to answer any growing questions as well. You won't find that service from many sources of seeds . The shipping on our orders also includes the processing and handling charges which is also less or equal to most seed companies. Remember we hand pack each order and drive from the farm to the post office to ship your order. I are not a big seed company, in fact not a company at all. I am homestead gardener.
