A remarkably all-encompassing power herb, burdock root has gained the esteemed reputation as one of the most important dietary inclusions for those seeking optimal health and well-being. Its flowering leaves are recognizable to most plant aficionados, with its distinctive pink rosettes and spiky burrs. But it’s the root part, visually memorable as well, that harbors the healing goods.
As a plant, burdock is classified as a biennial and is scientifically known as Arctium. Flowering from July through October, during August the rosettes of burdock play an essential role for bees, providing nectar and pollen while the bees wait for goldenrod to bloom. Quite common as a food in Asia, burdock root is especially enjoyed in Japanese cuisine, where it is known as “gobo.”
