It can also be enjoyed as a standalone vegetable, delivering a mild, sweet, earthy flavor that harmonizes with other ingredients. Whether it’s in traditional Japanese dishes like miso soup (tonjiru) and rolled sushi or mixed in with various vegetable preparations, burdock root provides culinary diversity. Additionally, it can be blended with other teas or enjoyed on its own.
