Burdock

[unclejae]

Do any of you sell burdock root? When my uncle visited from southwestern Missouri last week, he pointed to the plant and said that the root was worth 50 cents a pound where he lives. We have a lot and if this is true I would like to get some contacts and get started. We usually just dig it up and burn the plants after they dry out.

Thanks, unclejae

Is this the same burdock that is a horrible weed in my pasture?

[unclejae]

That is the one I'm asking about. We have the same problem.

There are quite a number of herbal remedy sites that sell it for various poultices, teas, etc. It is supposed to have some medicinal properties. It's also used, roasted, by some folks as a "coffee" type drink. I've tried it...tastes like roasted dirt to me.
