Takinogawa Long Burdock is a late variety that is known for its flavor and length. With a thin outer skin and crisp flesh, it cooks beautifully and is a must for any Japanese dish. This root is grown in traditional Japanese burdock boxes and is known to reach 3 feet! The winter-hardy first-year root can be dug late in the fall and even into winter for cooking. Takinogawa burdock was bred and improved by Suzuki Gengo at Takinogawa village (Tokyo) in the Genroku era during the Edo period (1688-1704). More than 90% of burdock are descendants of this variety.
Burdock, also known as "Gobo" in Japan, burdock root (Arctium lappa) is an incredibly nutritive food and medicine. Often cooked in soups or pickled, it is known for its healing properties and high vitamin content. The burdock root's ability to penetrate heavy clay subsoil can help improve drainage, but be careful – once burdock is in your garden, it is difficult to get it out.
Burdock seeds will not germinate without sensing light. Seeds must be barely covered with soil. Keep soil moist. Fertilize as needed. Harvest young and tender leaves. 75 days.
