Description
50 Seeds Burdock is a large, brown root cultivated for its tender, crunchy white flesh which has a sweet, mild, earthy flavor reminiscent of artichokes. This highly nutritious root is a favorite in East Asia, and an essential part of the Zen Buddhist diet. Add to soups and stir-fries for richer flavor, or make traditional dishes like Chinese Burdock Bone Soup, Kimpira Gobo and Ueong Jorim. This first-year winter-hardy variety flowers ornamental purple burs from July to October and provides essential pollen and nectar for honeybees around August. Burdock plants can grow up to 3 feet tall. Also Known As: niúbàng (牛蒡), gobō, u-eong (우엉), tong u-eong (통우엉), ci cai ji, dong yang lu bo, edible burdock, gobo, ngao pong, niu pang, uang.

I made a large purchase of seeds from this shop for my garden this year. I am reviewing at this point on shipping and service alone. I will do an update post of germination and harvest(hopefully) later! First of all i have to give credit where it is due I ordered 35 items and they didn’t miss a single item on my order all in perfect quantity! Second their is clearly more seeds and onions in bundles than indicated so they dont skimp you out!! Third they gave me 10 free gifts none of them the same of what I ordered. So I get to experiment on some extra seeds and plants that I had been eyeing but didn’t want to commit to, I’m excited to try out some bean plants and sunflowers just to name a few of the free gifts. I will be back again no doubt for my garden seed orders!!
