What Kudzu is and *IS NOT* good for

Kudzu is known as the "vine that ate the south" yet we seem to fear it more than is warranted. If you've never heard of Kudzu, you need to see how expansive it really grows (we took that footage). At the same time, there are tons of bloggers who would rather us see it as a ready food source - much as it is used in Japan. At first I thought this would make a great video showing the uses. I found the story wasn't that simple though, as you'll see.

I set out here to find the truth about Kudzu. If you have more recipes or things I should know, leave it below. I'm sure we'd all benefit from reading it.
