Burdock root also known as gobo is used both medicinally and as food. This starchy and slightly sweet root is reminiscent of a mild carrot in flavor and appearance. You may see it listed as an ingredient in several different Asian cuisines and you can find it labeled as gobo in Asian markets. You can also find burdock growing as a weed pretty easily around the Pacific North West and in other areas with enough moisture.
