    The flowers can be made into a concord grape-like jelly. http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art48689.asp "Last, but definitely not least, is the flowers that bloom on the kudzu plant during mid to late summer. These flowers can be used to make a delicious jelly that is a cross between blueberry and grape in flavor."

    Every part of the kudzu plant can be utilized. The nutritious leaves are high in vitamins C and A, make an excellent animal fodder and can be eaten by humans steamed, boiled, deep-fried, pickled, or raw when harvested in areas that have not been sprayed with herbicides. http://www.a-spi.org/tp/tp55.htm
