Burdock root - Burdock root

A perennial plant of the Asteraceae family (APG classification: Asteraceae). Native to central and southern Europe. In contrast to Western burdock, salsify, it is also called yellow burdock because its flowers are yellow. When fully grown, the stems reach a height of about 80 cm and the roots 30 cm. The young leaves are used in salads and the roots are boiled with meat. Note that burdock thistle is also sometimes called chrysanthemum burdock.
