Dried burdock powder: product overview
Burdock is one of Japan's traditional vegetables, marked by a distinctive roastiness and an earthy flavor. Kyoto-grown burdock in particular, with its good soil quality, offers a firm aroma and rich umami. Dried burdock powder concentrates this flavor as is, finished to be easy to use as an ingredient for seasonings and processed foods.
Turning it into a dried powder brings out burdock's distinctive aroma and makes it a shape easy to use in cooking. Burdock is rich in fiber and widely used in health-conscious foods, with its function of balancing the gut environment drawing particular attention. Used as a base for simmered dishes and soups, its natural sweetness and roastiness add depth to cooking.
Being in powder form, it also keeps well and maintains quality long at room temperature, so it's popular as a commercial ingredient too.
