Eating kudzu, the vine that ate the South | Sci NC

Kudzu root is expensive in india. Export it ye damed monsters

How about using kudzu in a greendrink smoothie instead of kale?

There's enough alcoholics to keep it under control, as it helps you break the habit.

Can the roots be cooked and eaten like a potato?

I'd rather watch the goats eat it all up.

Use goats!

Kudzu not kadzu

👁 love 💘KUDZU
ERIC

May l eat kudzu green leave or root ,what s side effects may occur in me when used up

im sure the vegans can eat our way out of the kudzu. and then we can plant more kudzu. maybe even on alien worlds.

👁 💘 kudzu it's very very good on pizza 🍕👌😋 🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕

Make some tinctures out of it and sell them on Etsy.

Kudzu never ate the soil.

People always talk about invasive species escaping their predators, or iin this case herbivores. But then we only talk about insects. We need to recognise that we humans have wiped out most of the megafauna that used to provide grazing and browsing pressure in the ecosystem. Without them munching along through the landscape plants like kudzu can run rampant.
We have also created lots of disturbed sites where pioneer plants like kudzu are perfectly adapted.

What kind of shredder was used?

Green carpet

Why not set a little fire to it

Has anyone actually tried to eat kudzu? Does it taste good?

I use to see this on the side of the highway as a kid when my family went on road trips to the south. I use to think the trees looked like monsters all covered up with those leaves.

kudzu is beautiful i love it

I'm getting a couple of goats to help me out.

Good presentation! Not sure about the paradigm shift toward kudzu…

Wonder why you didn't see her say "wow! This weed vine hot cocoa is delicious fam!". Hahaha

The only bias I have is that it kills EVERYTHING!

When I lived in Gastonia NC it was taking over EVERYTHING!

Anyone want to guess what political party these two ignorant dorks blindly vote for?

Moral Lesson: You can't trust the government to fix problems.

Why not feed them to cows too, actually?

The president of The Invasive Plants Council probably thought that if we once again intentionally started to cultivate kudzu again, it would grow to be an even BIGGER issue for many states in the South.

But however, now that we have more advanced technology and have SEEN what Kudzu can do, wouldnt we be able to come up with a way to use it WITHOUT it getting out of control again?

Since kudzu is a deep rooted plant that spreads rapidly, wouldnt we be able to cultivate it inside greenhouses in large, deep growing beds that way it wouldnt spread by root in our native soil?
And with it being indoors in a CONTROLLED environment, when it flowers , seeds wont be dropped and sprout everywhere bc the only soil that is available for it to grow in are the growing beds and couldnt it be routinely deadheaded by workers to further make sure that it doesnt grow out of hand??

Now learning that the plant fixes nitrogen, grows readily, could feed live stock AND us, I think it would be a waste to not take advantage to this resource!! We just have to be a lot more careful this time

It baffles me how much the early settlers and the people after them including us fucked up the USA
I wish I could go back in time at least 600 years to see just how much more beautiful North America was

Amen ..so TRUE...The Wicked USA Government tells everyone to put Poison on them and Dandelion Plants & other Wild Vegetables eaten in China on a Daily basis....yet the Farmers market sells Dandelions for over $2.00 a bundle, as high as collard Greens.

Awesome

I love this plant too,I think it can solve desertification problem in my country,what do you think?

I hate privet

Why is it not a problem in Asia? Here it actually enriches the soil.

Not on the list, but Wisteria is sold in stores and is not good either. IMO

la mère gningnin ...

These people are idiots. It’s still destroying the ecosystems, even if it can be useful.

You can raise cows on Kudzu? And it fixes nitrogen? That sounds pretty good actually!

A bit like Asian carp. You hate it. Most other nations love it. It’s tasty. I love to eat carp, but there is non where I live.

If there is a famine or zombie apocalypse people can live off kudzu alone. The roots, stems and leaves are all good for you and edible.

The feds strike again with their brilliant ideas...

Looks like a yam/sweet potato

Goats can eat what the people don’t use. Problem solved. Nature always gives us a mutually beneficial solution to any problem.

Si toi aussi tu es en cours d’anglais

How bout we let kudzu choke out some bamboo? Let em Duke it out.

Look for Charlotte Kudzu. I have writen 2 songs about kudzu and the science of kudzu. My favorite song is "Kudzilla!"
