Iyo Burdock

Iyo BurdockIyo-gobou

It is thick and its flavor is good. It is three to four shaku in length. It is a specialty of burdock. Although the burdock of Yawata in Yamashiro Province is famous and well-known, its size does not reach that of the Iyo burdock. The seeds of the burdock are called 'tairikishi'. If one takes a single seed for boils or swellings, it will immediately open the mouth of the sore and drain the pus. In China, they only enjoy the sprouts, and it is said that many people do not eat the roots, as seen in the Bencao Gangmu.
