I grew up in Georgia, where it was common to see groves of trees and even utility poles and barnhouses covered with kudzu, the “vine that ate the South.” What few people know is that the plant is edible, and delicious.
Originally brought to the US from Japan in 1876 to be used as forage food for livestock and to help reduce soil erosion, the plant took a real liking to the warm, humid Southeastern climate and got out of control. There are urban myths about how people have returned from vacations to find their homes and cars covered with kudzu. It does have pretty aggressive growth in the summer, with some reports of it growing a foot a day.
