Basic Introduction of Cangshan Burdock

Burdock is native to Asia and Northern Europe, and wild species are distributed in China from northeast to southwest. Its seeds, roots, stems, and leaves can all be used as medicine. It is sporadically cultivated in Shandong and Liaoning, and was introduced to Japan from China around 940 AD. After cultivation and domestication, many varieties have emerged. Cangshan cultivated burdock was successfully introduced from Japan's Concord Seed Co., Ltd. in Shandong Province in 1988. Large scale cultivation began in 1990, making it the earliest region in China to successfully introduce Japanese burdock varieties. As a result, it won the third prize for scientific and technological progress in Shandong Province. In 1993, it also undertook the "Burdock Cultivation and Processing" National Spark Program project, forming enterprise procurement standards and preservation export standards for burdock products. In 1996, it won the second prize for provincial Spark and drove the development of burdock processing industry
