No need to peel it... you bunch the leaves together tight and slice them very thinly on the chopping board. Then you can eat them without a problem, raw, in a salad with a base of say, Kasha, or Quinoi. Add other things, like choped kalamata olives or green Spanish olives, and also some sweet dried fruit, all of it chopped. Add one or two juices of lemons, some fresh ground black pepper and a streak of virgin olive oil, and you got yourself a power meal.
This is the plant behind the inspiration to invent velcro , George de Mestral , was a Swiss electrical engineer who invented the hook and loop fastener which he named Velcro. George de Mestral was walking his dogs between the Hills and he noticed this plant hanging on to his dogs from there the inspiration to invent velcro came about.
Great stuff Mr.Mountain Garden. 👍Thank you. If you have No major illness and you are above 65 I think We should all start practicing the plant life. Thank you and God bless you.👍
Lovely video The secret for the long straight roots is growing in burdock boxes 1×1' square, and 3-4' long, with one removable side! One gal repurposed a 2×2 × 3' potato box she had, using wood dividers to portion into 4 1' square sections, hinging one side, and put 2 seeds in each section! I'm thinking of using a 5 gallon bucket, with some division, and just Dumping it out to harvest.
For long roots a broad ford is used to loosen the soil to allow the roots to penetrate the soil. Broad fork is uses to loosen the soil not turn the soil over. The broad for helps to aerate the soil and break compaction. Daikon radish is made long and straight by the same aeration process with the broad fork..
Thank you for sharing to-the-point facts. Very helpful for me to grow the plant myself. Appreciate you explaining when to harvest the root for medicinal purposes and how the second year "all the energy goes to the seed. " wow dude, that was clear cut! Dont stop sharing like this..... bless you
I have always heard of burdock root, I have seen pictures but never the whole plant. I grew up with this all the time in the PNW. The dogs pick up burs from it. Thank you 😁👍.
Medicinal uses: Costus is widely used in several indigenous systems of medicine for the treatment of various ailments, like asthma, inflammatory diseases, ulcer and stomach problems.
One great use for Great Burdock fibers is the when the plant is dead. The dry plant will take any spark quickly for starting a fire using primitive methods in wilderness survival. It’s good material for using a flint and steel since it doesn’t need to be charred.
@@seanregehr4921 Well I could be wrong but here's the example I went off of and he's a pretty reputable resource IMO. ua-cam.com/video/R-RKdNFx0Jg/v-deo.html
@@seanregehr4921 I think so as well, just like ginseng, need a few years to mature. Besides, the flowers can be removed to channe energy into the root and not flowers.
nice video,thank you. not much burdock here in northern europe. Want some to make dandelion and burdock wine. Old english recipe. Cant find enough of it.
The Chinese eat the seeds because this is the best way to prevent the plants from reproducing and covering the landscape. The real medicinal value is in the roots only. IT is actually a blood purifier first and foremost but does aid other symptoms like skin conditions, etc.
You say to take the root at "end of the first year." Does that mean wait until late summer to dig? Can the root be harvested after flowering? There is quite a stand of it in my new yard in Maine. I'm very happy about this, since I have many good memories of eating delicious kinpira-burdock, carrots with a bit of hot pepper sauteed in sesame oil-when I lived in Japan. I thought I would have to make deep planters for it, but it's already here!
I have heard that the root after flowering is not good anymore because all the energy and goodness stored in the roots has gone into growing the flower stalk and head. This is why the roots are harvested before it does this.
It means you should wait until fall, even late fall if possible (but careful so you keep track of where the root is, in case the leaves are all gone). As a biennial, burdock spends all its first year just growing huge leaves close to the ground to acquire energy and nutrients, it doesn't flower at all in the first year; it's only in the second year it uses all that stored-up energy and nutrients to shoot up the large plant you see in the video, when it flowers and produces its infamous velcro ball seeds. So after flowering would be the worst time to harvest burdock root; if you're going to harvest it the second year at all, it would have to be early in spring before it shoots up, but fall of the first year is what's ideal.
Harvesting the root in the late fall of its first year of growing (when it only produces large leaves close to the ground) is perfectly safe; not only is it safe, but it's actually considered a delicacy in oriental cuisine.

I heard a cat sweet music to my ears 🎧🎶🎵🐱
A local herbalist told me that the long straight burdock roots are grown by planting in tall raised beds filled with loose sandy soil.
These are all over my back yard 😂
Very nice vediio thank you for sharing this video watching reply from Russia
great info. I didn't realize niu bang zi/牛蒡子 was just seeds of burdock.
Most Chinese medicine is taken from western world
Informative. I used to fight with burdock all the time in my back yard. I think we had the other kind.
Thanks for the information 👍
I would have a lot more faith in his knowledge if I didn't know he was just 28 years old.
This guy's 28? He looks like he was chill with Mozart and best friends with George Washington

Critter Cosner Burdick marinated in cat piss.👌👍
Critter Cosner I did too, as well as you did
Aww me too what a sweet baby sound
Yep. Definitely a cat. Sounds like it's summoning a demon again.
That's all the little bastards do! Eat, shit, sleep, summon demons, repeat. 😼
When they're really young is when you go after the root.
Not at all. Would you rather digest immature roots or mature roots? Would you rather earn on an immature investment or a mature investment?

Plumeless thistlesis good too... 👍😁
should you chop off the burrs before they burrs dry and become sticky?
Something beautiful and fun
Bonsoir, dommage qu'il y a pas de sous- tirage.
A bientôt 😊
❤🙏
Is there a difference with greater burdock and burdock root
can this plant grow 6 feet tall and 10 feet wide? trying to figure out the massive plant in my yard.
i have about 20 of them in my yard but theyve already flowered are they garbage?
👍👌💕
Can a person make a tincture with the burdock pods.
I have this growing in abundance in parts of my yard. Is this safe to use?
Harvesting the root in the late fall of its first year of growing (when it only produces large leaves close to the ground) is perfectly safe; not only is it safe, but it's actually considered a delicacy in oriental cuisine.
How are the seeds made into medicines
My posture is over run with burdock!
Sir, I suffer from sorriosous, n I need to contact you in healing my skin, n digestive system, please give me information on how to contact you

Also they have a link to their website in the about section of UA-cam
You may find Essaic Herbs to be helpful. Best of luck🥰
👍
Where's Marty at Doc? Tell us about the future
Now I know what plant to blame for the burrs stuck to my clothes !😡😡😡
Plants can do traditional medicine
And it is fun for kids to play war games with
How can I order the plant?
www.mountaingardensherbs.com
They also have their information posted in the about section on their UA-cam channel FYI
It grows almost everywhere; might as well get yourself a trowel or small shovel and dig up some roots yourself.
Do animals, like deer, eat Burdock?
Deer tend to avoid it; the leaves tend to grow large quite fast and become bitter due to the antinutrients used to deter animals from eating them.
has it sexual properties too?
