Burdock Root from the Farmers Market at Union Square


By Sprouts in the Hood (Visit website)



My friend Keiko, from Tokyo, introduced me to burdock root, a slender brown root vegetable that is common in Japanese cuisine.  This week, i was happy to find this vegetable at the farmer's market at Union Square.  The root has a nutty sweet flavor with a crunch texture that tastes perfect with a bowl of rice and a glass of hot Saki.
