  Nearly every part of the common dandelion, from its brilliant yellow petals, to its roots have been foraged throughout history for food, drink and medicine.

A rich source of beta-carotene, dandelions are also packed with vitamins and minerals including calcium, iron, potassium and zinc.  Young dandelion leaves are fantastic to eat raw and the roots can be roasted, ground and used in place of coffee.  Dandelion extract and tincture is used all over the world to treat ailments from high blood pressure and diabetes to liver complaints. Here you can find another 78 edible flowers to forage.

Dandelions are so easy to gather and it’s worth finding out how many ways you can use them.  Pick them somewhere that hasn’t been sprayed with herbicides and is not too close to busy roads.  Your own garden is probably perfect! ---CONTINUED---

Making dandelions palatable
http://www.backwoodshome.com/articles2/kallas82.html

By John Kallas, Ph.D

   We've heard stories about how good dandelions are. What one usually hears from enthusiastic wild food promoters is, "All you need to do is find very young dandelion leaves in the early spring, before the flower stalks appear. If you do this they won't be bitter. They'll be the most delicious and nutritious fresh greens you will ever eat."

Well my friends, that was not reflected in my early or continuing experiences with the plant. Was I doing something wrong? Why is it that you hear and read such good things about a plant that, even in its youth, is often excruciatingly bitter?

What I'm going to do is explain to you why I think that dandelions are indeed mostly bitter in the raw form—at almost any age—and share with you the secrets of transforming those same dandelions into the genuinely delicious food that so many rave about. We'll also dispel some misconceptions and old folk tales so you can get some practical use out of this abundant food source.. ---CONTINUED---
