Dandelions!!!



"The same pesky weed known for ruining lawns has a long history of being used as a healing herb in cultures around the globe. One cup of raw dandelion greens provides 535 percent of the RDA of vitamin K and 112 percent of the RDA for vitamin A. Dandelion greens are also a good source of vitamin C, calcium, iron, fiber, and potassium. Among all foods, it's one of the richest sources of vitamin A; among all green vegetables, it's one of the best sources of beta-carotene."

Read the rest here.

You can make soup out of them, steam them, boil them and saute them.

Interesting, I wanna eat some now. XD

Yes, lovely picture. I would really want to do that to Dandelions in the future, if I had a few of them growing.

I'm pretty sure they use their mouths. You can eat them raw, btw.
