• With less acridity characteristic of burdock root, it can be eaten raw without being soaked in water for removal of the harsh taste. (The burdock root not soaked in water is more flavorful.)
• As its growing season is shorter than those of normal burdock root, it features a very soft texture and a white peel.
• You may feel a salad using burdock root is really excellent for its flavor and soft texture.
