Take a peak into the shopping basket of a local chef or foodie friend and you’ll find….a bundle of sticks!? 🤔
Oh no, not a stick! That’s Burdock root!
This culinary root (also highly valued for its medicinal properties) is in the Asteraceae family (the same as some of your favorite radicchio!) Crisp and sweet, its texture and flavor is reminiscent of lotus.
Braised, roasted, mashed, or fried, you’ll find Burdock in many forms on some of Portland’s most acclaimed restaurants.
