About Fuki

Fuki is the Japanese name for Japanese butterbur, a leafy plant food. The edible stalks are commonly the part encountered in food, while the catalogue name does not specify the exact plant part or preparation. The stalks are typically firm and fibrous before cooking; their texture and flavour change with trimming, cooking, and preservation.

It is used as a vegetable and may be prepared in cooked dishes or sold preserved, depending on the product. Fresh stalks and prepared or preserved fuki are not identical in texture or flavour, and the label does not establish which form is represented. The name supports identification as fuki, but not a particular recipe or processing method.
