Harvesting burdock in my back yard. Just a few minutes work yields an abundant amount, which will make quite a number of meals. Burdock is a very popular food in Asia, and recipes can be found in abundance with their cooking!

Yay! Thank you for the straightforward recipe. Looks good! We've just acquired a piece of property with a bunch of burdock on it. Food!

This preparation is common in Korea and Japan. It's so delicious, simple, high in fiber and vitamins and the best part is the juicy crunch!

Thank you. Looks a lot better than the burdock root we tried to cook from the store. The root was long narrow, darker and tough.

I'm so glad I found this video- very thorough- thanks! The roots I bought at the co op yesterday are disappointingly thin in comparison though.

Peel the root. Shred some into a bowl and add boiling water. Steep for 15 minutes. Strain and drink.

It grows like crazy here in northern Minnesota. Me and my dad tried it last year but it was too woody. I even tried pickling it, but it was like chewing on a chunk of boot leather. May have to try it again. Thanks for the recipe!

Is it okay to harvest root after Burdock plant has gone to seed ? Nice dish you make with it .

Put the sesame seed on a cookie sheet and roast them for a few minutes in the oven until golden brown. It releases the sugars, and gives it a 'smoky' flavor. Enjoy.

Here in Merrie Olde England a very popular kids drink was Dandelion and Burdock. I’m thinking that this was originally a medicinal tonic as both plants are highly nutritious and nowadays overlooked....more for those of us rejecting Coke and other chemical infusions ! Great video Don! Found your channel via a search for pemmican....I’m going to attempt an Anglo version with duck fat, almonds and a sprinkle of dried blueberries.....fingers crossed!!
