Kudzu: You Can't Cut Me Down!

In the United States, Kudzu is a well known invasive plant.  Often known to be especially prevalent in the south, it is known to be particularly difficult and blankets entire areas.  But how did it get here and where did it come from? 

Coming from humble origins in areas of China and Japan, it's a bit of a surprise that this plant has become such a nuisance to us. The plant has medical uses and can be eaten in a variety of ways.  It's known for beautiful purple fragrant flowers as well, and for as many people who complain about it, there are just as many who love it's smell.  Join us today as we talk about how this plant got here, our uses for it, and why Kudzu might have just joined us in the right place at the right time.

Thanks so much for following us, and I'm so sorry we're late on posting this!  We hope you enjoy this week's episode.
