Shoots and Tubers

Japanese knotweed shoots (Reynoutria japonica) are a delicious and versatile wild food that lends itself to being pickled, added to savory dishes or made into sweet deserts like sorbet. We harvest our knotweed shoots from the pristine mountains north of Asheville, NC during their peak growing season, which only lasts about a month. The key to tasty knotweed is harvesting young, meristematic shoots for optimal texture. Most people prefer them peeled to fully reveal their lemony, rhubarb-like flavor. Knotweed is a beautiful vegetable with considerable nutritional benefits.

Preserved, Canned Goods

If you've never had a Japanese Knotweed pickle, you're in for a real treat. They have an amazing crunch, uniquely delicious flavor and are salted to perfection.Our Japanese Knotweed (Reynoutria japonica) is hand harvested in the pristine mountains north of Asheville, NC. Each shoot is carefully peeled before being placed in a simple salt &amp; water brine then allowed to lactoferment for several days. This brings out amazing flavors, preserves crunchiness and removes the mucilaginous quality characteristic of raw knotweed. These pickles will last indefinitely in or out of the fridge in this salt water brine. Your purchase is also helping support our management efforts of this species which has a significant effect on streams and local biodiversity.
