burdock root and how to prepare

[@jaymeelk9380]

Thank you for making this video. Not just dried or tincture, but as a good food sitting right there in the yard.

[@donaldporta]

You bet!

[@kleineroteHex]

Just don't get those seed pods in your hair ! 😅

[@paranoidhumanoid]

This preparation is common in Korea and Japan. It's so delicious, simple, high in fiber and vitamins and the best part is the juicy crunch!

[@charlottewilliams7866]

Yay! Thank you for the straightforward recipe. Looks good! We've just acquired a piece of property with a bunch of burdock on it. Food!

Yum I’m going to try this - top video thank you and blessings to you from New Zealand

I love the burdock plant. I’ve never used it properties before. Great video. 😊😊😊😊

Thanks so much! 😊

[@mackenziem8190]

I've had those in Japan, was super delicious!

[@donaldporta]

So good!

[@aras1588]

I'm so glad I found this video- very thorough- thanks! The roots I bought at the co op yesterday are disappointingly thin in comparison though.

[@Garysopinion]

Thank you. Looks a lot better than the burdock root we tried to cook from the store. The root was long narrow, darker and tough.

[@AntiZionist]

It grows like crazy here in northern Minnesota. Me and my dad tried it last year but it was too woody. I even tried pickling it, but it was like chewing on a chunk of boot leather. May have to try it again. Thanks for the recipe!

[@donaldporta]

you might have dug a second year plant, all mine were very tender.

[@alexam5336]

@@donaldporta yes they look very tender and cut so well! ❤️‍

[@crashdisk-ik7yq]

Peel the root. Shred some into a bowl and add boiling water. Steep for 15 minutes. Strain and drink.

Enjoyed it very much! ...looks like it is easy to make, and looks delicious.

It was!

[@davidledoux1736]

Very nice! The stalks almost look like rhubarb or swiss chard. Do you ever use the stalks or leaves in your stir-fry?

[@niswii]

I’ve eaten them mistaking them for wild rhubarb 🤢

[@tagladyify]

I get lots of these in my yard. I will have to harvest some this fall. I will likely try dehydrating them just as I do with ginger. They kind of resemble my sun chokes.

[@-Atmos1]

Is it okay to harvest root after Burdock plant has gone to seed ? Nice dish you make with it .

[@donaldporta]

root will be exhausted after seeds, too old by then,

[@-Atmos1]

@@donaldporta Thanks , the root of the Burdock plant before it goes to seed is more nutritious . I'm going to propagate some in my garden .

[@metalmix7773]

Would this be good to put on top of rice or mashed potatoes?

[@bethwalker398]

What season is best to harvest?

[@TriggaTreDay]

So are you saying that you should big the 1st year root for food? Because I know that for medicine you should let it grow and dig in the 3rd year. Thanks for the video.

[@donaldporta]

The second year it goes to seed, then plant dies.

[@SamanthaSweetAnne]

That looks so good. Where did you learn to cook like that?

[@donaldporta]

my grandmother!

[@dwaynewladyka577]

Burdock leaves can be mistaken for rhubarb leaves. That meal looks really good. Cheers!

[@donaldporta]

Very true! however when in doubt take a taste of the stocks--- both are eatable--- you will definitely know rhubarb

[@dwaynewladyka577]

@@donaldporta I also believe that Native North Americans and even others, like early Ukrainian pioneers to Canada and America, used things like this as medicine. I also remember walking through worded areas and the parts of the burdock plant would stick to my clothing. Cheers!

[@TheMistressMisery]

Burdock leaves are fuzzy on the underside, rhubarb isnt. So its pretty easy to tell the difference if you really look

[@KamranHijamaPodcast]

This is amazing, thank you for doing this ❤️

[@donaldporta]

You're so welcome!

[@Unapologetically_Tye]

Do you sell this if so how can I buy some

[@AmyFrust]

Hi, is this Bitter Dock? Or is it something different?

[@donaldporta]

not bitter-dock burdock=== very pleasant taste.

[@michael83ms]

Use that in a stir fry 😋

[@timmynormand8082]

We have cockaburr here but the leaves are smaller don’t look like that. Are they edible also ? There must be different varieties?

[@donaldporta]

I tried researching that and didn't get anywhere with it --- try Green Deane at Eat the Weeds, he is very good at Identifying plants--- he also has a forum that may be helpful.

Put the sesame seed on a cookie sheet and roast them for a few minutes in the oven until golden brown. It releases the sugars, and gives it a 'smoky' flavor. Enjoy.

[@donaldporta]

thanks for the tip!

[@beefriendlychannel7965]

@@donaldporta I worked in a Cantonese kitchen. Chef would have hit me with the wok had I handed him raw sesame! Lol

[@beefriendlychannel7965]

@@donaldporta just kidding. Sometimes he put the sesame in the oil and got it going that way, too before adding the other ingredients.

[@davidledoux1736]

I like to toast mine in a dry wok before cooking everything else. Just set them aside and incorporate them at the end when the dish is finished.

[@beefriendlychannel7965]

@@davidledoux1736 Maybe chef put the oil in after. That was in 92. Lol I don't remember him setting it aside, though. As he was flipping and stirring, the sesame seeds jumped out in the brown sauce. They weren't dry.

Can I harvest 2 year old roots?

[@AyitzGoDz]

They are biannual better to always harvest the 1st year more energy and nutrients

[@kleineroteHex]

my one year plants never have such nice roots, bummer!

[@wadestanton]

Imagine a pogo stick with an automobile leaf spring bolted to it instead of a coil spring. That is what I use to dig big deep roots.

[@itsmehattie9493]

I didn’t know u could eat burdock straight. That’s crazy. It’s not poisonous?

Here in Merrie Olde England a very popular kids drink was Dandelion and Burdock. I’m thinking that this was originally a medicinal tonic as both plants are highly nutritious and nowadays overlooked....more for those of us rejecting Coke and other chemical infusions ! Great video Don! Found your channel via a search for pemmican....I’m going to attempt an Anglo version with duck fat, almonds and a sprinkle of dried blueberries.....fingers crossed!!
