A member of the sunflower family, burdock has heart-shaped leaves that can grow 3 feet in diameter and contains large roots. It blooms with purple, globe-shaped clusters that resemble thistles. They contain little “hooks” that will attach to anything they come in contact with.

It is often found along roadsides and field borders in Northern Asia, North America, Europe and China. The root is prevalent in Chinese, Korean and Asian cooking.
