Burdock contains inulin, a natural dietary fiber, and is also used to improve digestion. As a root vegetable, it possesses considerably stronger antioxidant activity than common vegetables and fruits. In fact, recent studies confirm that burdock has prebiotic properties that could improve health.

Burdock is a member of the Asteraceae family that is also home to daisies and sunflowers. Organic burdock is widely cultivated across China, Europe, and North America, and is known for its pink thistle-like flowers.   

Sprinkle the earthy root in soups, stews, eggs, pasta, rice dishes, and bone broth.
