Amazing value

The quality and value of this kudzu root is top tier. It can be eaten right out of the bag. I use it for prevention of alcohol dependence. I might buy the entire stock because the price is so good. It has a prominent flavor similar to the wild yam, and is a bit powdery with fibers running through it. It is soft and crumbly, yet feels moistening. It comes in large rectangular slices.
