Burdock, which is popular not only for gimbap ingredients but also for health tea, is in season.

It is the most delicious root food from January to March and has been used for a long time for treatment purposes such as diuretics and antidotes.

First of all, cucumbers are effective in controlling blood sugar levels as they contain abundant inulin and saponin called 'natural insulin'.




Water-soluble dietary fiber inulin, which is often found in root vegetables, is not broken down by digestive enzymes in the body, promoting bowel function and helping to reduce cholesterol levels in the blood. Saponin components also help prevent cardiovascular diseases by removing harmful substances in blood vessels and lowering blood pressure.

Lignan and alkaloids, along with saponins, are known to have anticancer effects. In particular, studies have shown that it can have a positive effect on the prevention of breast and uterine cancer. Calcium and iron are also high, which is good for preventing osteoporosis and anemia in women.

However, owls are chrysanthemum plants, and people who are allergic to chrysanthemum flowers should be careful, and people with poor kidneys should refrain from eating them due to the promotion of diuretic action. In addition, saponins, which have a bitter taste, are many in the skin of the buttocks, so it is better to drink them as tea from the skin.
