Pueraria P.E. Kudzu Root Extract is primarily grown for pasture, hay, and silage. It is palatable to all types of livestock. Kudzu is nearly equal to alfalfa in nutritive value. Leaves, shoots and roots are eaten by some humans. Useful fiber is obtained from stems, and starch is obtained from the tuberous root (roots up to 35 kg each). In China and Japan, Ko-fen flour, made from the roots, is used in soups. It is cultivated for its tuber in the uplands of New Guinea and New Caledonia. Used for erosion control and soil improvement on banks, slopes, and gullies where a permanent planting is desired. It is also used as shade and planted around buildings.
