Beni udo (red udo, plant related to ginseng)

This plant is cultivated in Ena City. The history of its cultivation goes back a long way, and it is known that each farming household grew it in the corners of their yard in the latter part of the Meiji period (around 1900), which was consumed domestically as a seasonal wild vegetable. Vivid red color and strong flavor are its characteristics. It has been cultivated up until today due to its relative lack of bitterness and soft texture.
