Burdock Root (Arctium Lappa)
$4.50 – $15.30
Organically grown in China, Burdock is widely used not just as a healing herb, but as a tasty superfood, often included in soups. This herbal ally uniquely and gently supports not only the liver, but the lymphatic system too.* We love when herbs can be used in their entirety—from seed to the tallest leaf, reaching for the sun—and such is the case for our gentle friend Burdock. Its roots, greens, and seeds are all used in both Western and Eastern herbal formulas. These include Burdock Root teas, powders, capsules, or tinctures. As a superfood, the roots are eaten around the world: sautéd, added to soups and stews, infused or brewed into teas and vinegars, or pickled (known as “Gobo” in Japanese cuisine). And in case you’re now wondering, what does Burdock root taste like? It’s earthy, sweet, slightly bitter—most similar to an artichoke heart, for comparison. In our opinion, it tends to take on the flavor of whatever you cook it with, which is why we love eating this nourishing, microbiome-feeding root in slow-cooked chicken soup.
