While many people think of the dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) as a pesky weed, it's chock full of vitamins A, B, C, and D, as well as minerals such as iron, potassium, and zinc. Dandelion leaves are used to add flavor to salads, sandwiches, and teas. The roots are used in some coffee substitutes, and the flowers are used to make wines.
In the past, dandelion roots and leaves were used to treat liver problems. Native Americans also boiled dandelion in water and took it to treat kidney disease, swelling, skin problems, heartburn, and upset stomach. In traditional Chinese medicine, dandelion has been used to treat stomach problems, appendicitis, and breast problems, such as inflammation or lack of milk flow. In Europe, it was used in remedies for fever, boils, eye problems, diabetes, and diarrhea.
So far, there have not been any good quality scientific studies on dandelion. Today, the roots are mainly used to stimulate the appetite, and for liver and gallbladder problems. Dandelion leaves are used as a diuretic to help the body get rid of too much fluid.
Plus they're beautiful, a great source of pollen and nectar for bees, very easy to grow, and should be welcomed into every lawn, to help save the bees from colony collapse, along with white clover !!! Think survival, eat them and feed to animals ! Delicious ! Plus tea, coffee etc.

Cool seeds from what most think are weeds and do everything to get them out of their pretty green grass! My mom has told me of all the ways to cook these and how she loved them as a kid:-) Awesome seeds and plant from a trusted seller:-) Thank you

Thanks.... I've always done the opposite....collect dandelion seeds from other people's lawns and blow them onto mine ! I saw how much my tortises, rabbits, guinea pigs and chickens loved to eat them..and even the bearded dragon lizards so I knew they were yummy....so I researched them.... and found that people have a long history of eating and even farming them for grocery store greens :)

My guinea pig loves dandelions and they're a part of her healthy diet. I didn't know I could eat them too!
