Thank you so much for making this video. Today was the first time I learned about this wild edible. They are easy to identify and actually taste good. Thank you for adding a new adventure to my life. It's much appreciated.
Hi Joe, just got back from the woods, and brought back some burdock root, not very much but enough to try it and I thought it was delish, I love it! so earthy tasty! I did some "chips" like you said but they got a little burned but good anywas then I sliced some and cooked them slow with some olive oil and like them too, I plan to go back and get some more and try them in a soup. Take Care!
that plant freaks me out when I see one... even when it's bigger... but I never knew the name of it. I would never go near it anytime anywhere.. in cities where they are more common like DC, NY, Baltimore... but now I know.. after 33 years of walking past a plant like that.. great presentation
same.. I always looked at them like huge insect condos, snake huts, and simply looked "too alive" like the thing would swallow you for how bit it is.. I always admired how big the leaves were though. Dug one up the other day.. I was amazed at how healthy it was.. no bugs or anything living on it. What I did notice is that there were HUGE worms chilling right by its roots.. I dug up another one and found more huge worms.. I mean HUGE. So if anyone is a fisherman.. go dig up Burdock to get yourself giant worms.
PS. Herbally, burdock root is used as a blood purifier. It helps to treat skin disorders such as eczema, and is also used as an antifungal and an antibiotic. It is classified as an herbal alterative, diuretic and diaphoretic. Keep up the great work on the videos.
My Grandma used this plant to "doctor" with but I can't remember what she specifically used it for though. The dogs were good for spreading the seed everywhere!
Great video. Up here in the north east, we call the prickly balls "sticky burrs". Or, at least that is what I know them as growing up. Inulin is a group of naturally occurring chemicals produced by plants that belong to a class of dietary fibers. Fibers help lower blood sugar.
Now did I hear you right...that there is no poisonous plant that resembles the burdock? I want to be sure before I harvest it...there is tons on my acre. Mine have the nasty sticker-y seed pods that get caught in everything..including my hair! So is it good to go as far as eating is concerned?
I wanted to be sure I heard what I was looking for. Lately interested in bitter greens. My burdock (a surprise plant) has huge leaves, and now has burrs which I believe makes it a second year? Also heard that the first year is the best root to eat? My question is, I tasted the leaf and it's very bitter, but I usually cook bitter greens down and freeze the broth for soup. Are the leaves edible? Thank you so much.
Burdock is biennial. You picked the first year plant. If you left them, next year they would have the hitchhikers. They get the hitchhikers then die. The edible root is over 3 feet long
Interesting'! I never knew they're wild in the States. I grew up with chicken herbal soup with burdock -- it's a chinese recipe. I love burdock for it's texture. Great video. I definitely learned something new.
+Anh Ung Thank you. I have another video where I use the leaf as a wrap around meat and then I bake it. It really was delicious meat and the leaf kept everything very moist.
You must be city-bred.. Burdock is the bane of cow pastures and often gets tangled in livestock and pet hair.. I don't know about out west but it grows wild all over the eastern US..
Thanks for your video. This is my first time about this plant. I saw adv at Korean Market HMart. I have no idea what is bogo root? thru reseach, I found out this is interesting plant good for your blood and others too. Thanks for all friend comments.
You can/should soak it for 5-15 minutes to extract some of whatever makes it smell earthy and taste medicinal. Burdock is used often in Asian cooking, notably in kinpura gobo, a Japanese side dish of braised carrots and burdock.
can you steal dig em out when they have already bloomed? I live in Sweden and its now that they are comming out where I live, but they have already gotten flowers, otherwise I would have totally missed them.
Yea for sure !!! Cover in a garbage bag to save your clothes. Take the root and drop the plant back to nature to seed. Where abouts do you live in Sweden:)
I've been boiling the root and using the liquid to get rid of poison ivy for years. Works great for that! Heard it was a old Indian remedy. Never knew it was edible.
Old Indian remedy It's an invasive. Seems lie all this nasty stuff is siftened by "it's an Indain remedy". Nobofy uses this plant to the point it needs to be. It is a complete destroyer of native habitat
I used to run through fields as a young'n hunting insects, and when I'd come home, i'd have burrs in my cloths,hair,everywhere and my Mom would go nuts ha ha.
JoeandZachSurvival You sound very standoffish...my point is that the knife in this video is dull as $hit...and I was trying to off hand joke that maybe you should try sharpening it. Sorry, next time I won't try tact and straight up say, "stop cutting things with a butter knife and sharpen the thing". ;)

Thanks Edward, NOW is the time to start digging them, its prime time. Joe

The Mosquito's comments made me laugh, Thanks for posting, I'm subscribing since I live in MN too and this was exactly what I was looking for.
Jennifer McLaughlin-Perez Thank you Jennifer, lots of videos to watch and many more to come. Thanks again. Joe
great vid & demo, I have never tried the burdock before thnx for sharing

It's worth digging up the full root, the last two fifths is the best part!
Looks so yummy! Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for the video i been seeing these plants wondering what they were !

+JoeandZachSurvival That's neat. What is the title of that video? I'd like to watch it.
They are an invasive species from England that came over during the Colonial period, presumably because livestock in transport had burrs in their fur.
You must be city-bred.. Burdock is the bane of cow pastures and often gets tangled in livestock and pet hair.. I don't know about out west but it grows wild all over the eastern US..
Chicken will kill you
inulin is a natural plant fiber (starch) it does regulate the blood sugar, aids in digestion down below and can be used to thicken food products.
Clove oil is easy to make and studies show it's the top plant to make a mosquito repellant out of.

Fastand Ferious Burdock root is one of my favorite wild edibles. I love making it into "Burdock chips" It is very good for you. Thank you. Joe
Don't cut yourself short video is boring when you get too much off the subject great video thank you

I used to call the plant a big piece of lettuce!!! When I was younger!!🤣 Never tried it either!!
can you steal dig em out when they have already bloomed? I live in Sweden and its now that they are comming out where I live, but they have already gotten flowers, otherwise I would have totally missed them.
Yea for sure !!! Cover in a garbage bag to save your clothes. Take the root and drop the plant back to nature to seed. Where abouts do you live in Sweden:)
loved the video!
I've been boiling the root and using the liquid to get rid of poison ivy for years. Works great for that! Heard it was a old Indian remedy. Never knew it was edible.
Why are you getting rid of poison ivy!!!!! Harvestvit in its dormant stage it's super nutritious. Your contradicting mother nature.
he means he's using the liquid to get rid of poison ivy rash... not to get rid of the plant itself.
Never heard of that.. Just that Jewelweed and Plantain are the two go-to plants that everyone grabs for making poison ivy/bug bite salves.
Old Indian remedy It's an invasive. Seems lie all this nasty stuff is siftened by "it's an Indain remedy". Nobofy uses this plant to the point it needs to be. It is a complete destroyer of native habitat

Joe, since you're also from MN can we go root digging some time near the twin cities to learn from you?
Been mowing over it. till I realized what it was! Now I'm enjoying sauteing them.
Are the leaves edible also?
How do you get the root out of normal soil.? I have never seen it grow in such loose soil..
You really have to dig, they are in there good.
Cause he has ruined the yard
Good afternoon I’am sorry what is name of the book Thank you so much God bless you
would like to know either you sell some of your herbs.
we have them in MAine and Eastern Canada
what about eating the young stems
You call them hitch hikers? I live in upstate ny and we just call them burdocks. I have never heard another name for them ;)
In Michigan we just called them pickers, but we knew they were burdock
I'm from upstate NY and we called them klingons.
Hey Farmer Joe have you ever thought about doing a wild edible class?
Can you show the flowers please
We always called the "hitch hikers" Cockle burrs.
Those pesky plants! Didn't even know they could be a food source!!!! Make another video and throw it on here as you do it! Burdock BBQ Chips!
Good video, doesnt have vitamin B12 though.
Saras Gabbery no no it doesn't...
Saras Gabbery no, no it doesn't.
Saras Gabbery not enough to sustain yourself.
Saras Gabbery yup but not enough to keep your ass from dying.
Saras Gabbery You're not welcomed.
Clove oil for mosquitos
People with ADD: skip to 5.00.
People with ADD wont make this far in the comments to see your comment.
hope u compost
Peels the root (wrong)... Adds butter {wrong)... Cooks it (destroys are the benefits) lol.. no offense but might at well eat plastic lol.
Exactly!!!
you know you can get knife sharpeners for a few dollars? ;)
I have several of them. Your point?
JoeandZachSurvival You sound very standoffish...my point is that the knife in this video is dull as $hit...and I was trying to off hand joke that maybe you should try sharpening it. Sorry, next time I won't try tact and straight up say, "stop cutting things with a butter knife and sharpen the thing". ;)
