About Deodeok root

Deodeok is the edible root of a Korean plant, sold fresh or dried. The root is usually long and tapered, with a pale interior and a fibrous, sometimes sticky texture. Its flavour is earthy and mildly bitter, and the fibres can become tender when the root is pounded or cooked.

It is commonly prepared by peeling or scraping, splitting or pounding, and then grilling, braising, or seasoning. Fresh and dried roots differ in moisture, texture, and preparation needs; processed seasoned products are not equivalent to plain root. The name refers to the food root rather than a particular prepared dish.
