Hol up, kudzu is edible?! How were we never taught this???
You can even make flour from it.
Holy fuck that is amazing; if it can be floured, so much could be done with it.
Yeah I’m genuinely surprised to learn this
See I remember, EVERY DAMN YEAR, back when I was a kid where I used to live, it used to be me and my siblings' job to clear the kudzu and creeper vines from the house's brickwork because every year, without fail, it'd grow like eight damn feet up the wall by the end of spring. Awful work, especially in blistering summer humidity-- if I'd have known the shit was edible...
It's also used in traditional Chinese medicine to make a lot of different medication and even works somewhat. Can be also used to make ropes, clothes, paper, baskets and whatever else people can make of such fibers.
