I know some folks who harvest dandelion greens to eat - too bitter for my taste - and others who make dandelion wine - I’ve never tasted it.

It’s also supposed to be very healthy, full of vitamins and minerals, and even have great value as a medicinal herb - all of the parts of the plant are edible and useful.

Makes you wonder why we are conditioned all our lives to think of Dandelion as “just a weed”... hmmmmm!

I would harvest them from my yard, except my dear husband, bless his heart, uses the infernal Roundup! grrr.... No matter how I beg him not to, it just makes him all the more obstinate, and the best I can accomplish is to get him to keep that crap far away from my avocado tree!

I know the feeling- hubbs has a bad habit of spraying and then walking in it. Which creates ghost footprints of dead grass the next week! GRRR. . . .

Dandelion root tea is supposed to be very good for you.

Dandelion root is used for the treatment of muscle aches, loss of appetite, upset stomach, intestinal gas, gallstones, joint pain, eczema and bruises. It also increases urine production and serves as a laxative to increase bowel movements.
