Kudzu root is the edible tuber of the Pueraria genus of climbing vines, most notably Pueraria lobata. While the kudzu plant itself is famously known as a highly aggressive invasive species in North America, its root has a 2,000-year history in traditional Chinese medicine (where it is known as Gegen) and is widely utilized today as a dietary supplement, starch, and culinary thickening agent.
