The root can be chewed and swallowed, but most people prefer other techniques, because they don’t like the taste. You can also use it with some rice. You just pulverize a certain amount of the root and mix it with rice. Alternatively, you can also cook an Asian soup and add the root powder as part of the spice mixture.
