EATING KUDZU???
Several people have called
the Butts County Extension
office recently with questions
about eating kudzu. Several
news articles, including one
in the University of Georgia
News “Columns”, have
caused much controversy
over the idea of humans
eating Kudzu. The Foods and
Nutrition Specialists with the
Cooperative Extension Ser
vice have done some follow
up work in an attempt to
clear up the confusion that
has resulted from the news
articles.
It seems that a botany
student at the University was
being interviewed about the
“physiological properties” of
Kudzu and he just happened
to mention that he had even
tried cooking the plant. He
never claimed to have done
research on the nutritional
value of Kudzu. In fact, there
is even a disclaimer on the
student’s thesis stating that
no toxicological or nutrition
al value tests were done
during his research.
Some toxicological tests on
Kudzu have been conducted
by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture Re
search Service. Test results
showed that the Kudzu plant
contains some toxic material
but exact levels are unknown
at this time. Although
livestock can safely graze on
the plant, they feel that it
could be dangerous to
humans. In short, at this time
the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture is not
recommending the Kudzu
plant be used for human
consumption.
