Gobō (牛蒡, ごぼう), or burdock root, is a good source of many valuable nutrients known to have antioxidant, disease preventing, and health promoting properties.
Gobō is actually quite long… like 20 – 28 inches (50 – 70 cm).
This root vegetable is often used in Japanese cooking like Kinpira Gobo, consisting of sauteed gobo and carrot, and many of simmered dishes like Chikuzenni.
