About this product
Taiwanese burdock grows mainly in the sandy loam of Pingtung and coastal Tainan, producing long, straight roots with white, fine-fibred flesh and a characteristic earthy aroma. Mostly Japanese cultivars, it is harvested from September to March and shipped washed or unwashed, with a long track record in Japan.
