The burdock root is a root and stem agricultural product/herbal medicine made from the dried or fresh roots of the plant belonging to the genus Arctium in the Asteraceae family. Its main components include inulin, chlorogenic acid, and polyacetylene compounds. The core function is to serve as a source of high-concentration natural prebiotic dietary fiber, selectively promoting the proliferation of bifidobacteria to improve the intestinal flora, delaying the increase of post-meal blood sugar, and exerting anti-inflammatory, liver-protective and "blood purification and detoxification" effects in traditional medicine. It provides functional food raw materials with low glycemic index for people with diabetes and those with sub-health in the intestinal system, and offers a compliant and low-cost natural solution for the substitution of synthetic oligosaccharides and artificial sweeteners under the global clean label movement. The upstream process is completed by large-scale planting cooperatives and organic farms, including seedling cultivation, rotation, and mechanized harvesting; the downstream is distributed to the Japanese pickling/stocking industry, the Korean fermented health food production line, the organic dietary supplement channels in Europe and America, and the local substitute tea and new-style tea drink supply chains in China. In 2025, the production of burdock root is approximately 180,000 tons, with an average price of about 2,200 US dollars per ton and a gross profit margin of about 15%, and the single-line production capacity is 1,000 tons per year.
