Taraxacum officinale is a very friendly flower that just wants to pop up where you want it to, kind of like cheese from "Foster's home for imaginary friends". The thing about this plant, it has medicinal qualities and it can be eaten like turnip greens, collards or mustard greens.
My chickens used to love this plan in the evenings when I fed them. They would not leave a leaf. There are many people that make wine, grind it into "coffee" and take it as a suppliment for various ailments. I've chewed a little on it. It's okay, but I don't particularly like it's bitter taste too much.
Jack Keller's website for wine making has several recipes for the wine, if you would like to read it, you are welcome to right here
There are several ways to use the root of the plant, Nature Herbs Guide
has a great bit of information on what this root is good for and how you should take it, and they have suppliments if you are interested in taking it.
I heard years ago from a yahoogroup that you could make coffee from dandelion root. This website has a recipe and step to step guidelines on how to make dandelion root coffee. It has health benefits that are great! Thanks for reading and have a great day!
