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.
