    You missed a couple, I think.......... There is an extract made from the 
plant that is used in Chinese medicine, at least. The main effect of it that 
I can recall is that is a help in treating alcoholism, though there may well 
be more. Also, I believe the young shoots can be eaten as a potherb, and 
possibly the roots would be edible as well--I can't remember for sure. Then 
there's the studies on making paper from the plant--it's evidently a better 
fiber source than the trees we currently use!
    Somewhere I have bookmarked an interesting website on Kudzu, but can't 
for the life of me find where I've filed it! I think it even had a few 
recipes.......... Anyone else have the link handy?
