Naturally grown burdock by Tatsuro Kunibe, Miyazaki Prefecture
Burdock has roots that grow deep underground, so it is a crop that clearly reflects the condition of the soil in the field.
If the soil is hard, the fruit will bend, and if the soil is dirty, the fruit will have a strong bitter taste.
The burdock that arrived this time from Kunibe is grown in a field that has been cultivated naturally for 11 years.
Since it has little bitterness, it only needs to be soaked in water for a short time, resulting in a clean flavor.
Kunibe's family originally ran a conventional farm, but when Kunibe started farming in 2007 they switched to organic farming.
However, as insects and diseases began to appear during cultivation, it felt unnatural, so in 2011 we switched to natural cultivation, which is still the method we use today.
(In natural cultivation, it is believed that excessive fertilizer, especially nitrogen fertilizer, leads to the development of insects and diseases.)
People have also tried harvesting seeds; at harvest time the above-ground part of the burdock is around 80cm, but by the time the seeds set they have grown to nearly 2m, taller than a person.
It has impressive, prickly seeds.
Storage method
The product photos show it washed, but it will be delivered with some dirt on it.
When the burdock arrives, wash off the soil, wrap the surface in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator, where it will last for about a month.
