In herbal medicine, burdock root is one of the most well-regarded herbs for supporting the body’s natural detoxification processes, particularly through the liver, kidneys, and lymphatic system. It’s rich in inulin (a prebiotic fibre), antioxidants, and bitter compounds that support liver function and healthy digestion. The flavour is earthy and slightly bitter with a subtle natural sweetness — making it a wonderful addition to herbal teas, broths, and culinary dishes. Starwest Botanicals sources their burdock root certified organic from China and processes it cut and sifted for easy brewing and cooking use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraditional detoxifying herb — supports liver, kidney, and lymphatic cleansing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRich in inulin — a prebiotic fibre that supports beneficial gut bacteria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNaturally rich in antioxidant compounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports healthy digestion and liver function\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraditionally used for skin health — linked to its detoxifying and blood-cleansing properties\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarthy, slightly bitter flavour with subtle sweetness — delicious as a tea or in cooking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePopular in Japanese cuisine as gobo — the entire plant is edible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCut and sifted — easy to brew as a tea or use in recipes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSDA certified organic — certified by QAI, Inc.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKosher certified by Kosher Certification Services\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e113.4g (4 oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eFacts\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eInformation\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBotanical Name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cem\u003eArctium lappa\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCommon Name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBurdock Root\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlant Part\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRoot\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eForm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCut and Sifted\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChina\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCertification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSDA Certified Organic (QAI, Inc.) | Kosher Certified\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNet Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e113.4g (4 oz)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eSuggested Use\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAs a tea:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pour 240–360ml (8–12 oz) of boiling water over 1 tsp of herb.
