EDIBLE shoots, leaves, tendrils, flowers, tubers

Kudzu is a nonnative, vining, and invasive plant that is known as the “plant that is eating the South.” But you can eat it, as the shoots, leaves, tendrils, flowers, and tubers are all delicious, which helps reduce the abundance of the plant, even if only a little bit.

How to Identify

Kudzu is an Asian native plant that rapidly covers nearly anything, including all surrounding vegetation, with its creeping vines. The trunks of the vines are woody and normally range in diameter from 2 to 4 inches, but they can grow as wide as a foot. The leaves are trifoliate with ovate leaflets. The plant attaches itself to surrounding structures and vegetation with its stems and tendrils.
