What is Kudzu root?
Kudzu root, also known as kudzu, is mostly used as a herb in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Kudzu is often found in Southern foods eaten raw, sautéed, deep-fried, baked and jellied, but if you have a need to harvest kudzu, it must be done with care. Make sure you clearly identify it since it looks similar to poison ivy, and avoid kudzu that has been sprayed with pesticides or chemicals.
Kudzu root can be cooked like potatoes or dry and grind them into powder, which makes a great breading for fried foods or a thickener for sauces.
