I am going to try NOT to be so prolific in my verbiage today – straight shooting, straight to the image.
dandelion
Ahh . . . h . . . h, so you want the story after all!
It’s another one for my mother! Can you believe she use to forage for these little buggers when she was young? Most of us consider these weeds, pesky little things that come up through the grass or plight our flower beds.
But there are some people in the world that eat these things! And did you know that every part of the dandelion is edible? From the yellow flowery top down to the root! The greens are fairly bitter so I am told, but they are supposed to be really really good for you – like better than spinach greens: high in potassium, vitamin C and calcium . . .
If, of course, you can stand their bitter taste and get them past your palette!
