Dandelion

Dandelion at the entrance to my garden

It's right on the path, it's a little annoying, I need to mow the grass, but I don't want to mow the dandelion
because dandelion is a very medicinal and edible plant
Dandelion contains bitter substances, a lot of potassium, resin, essential oil, 40% inulin (in the root). The leaves contain 16-18% vitamin C, iron about 3%.

The leaf is used in salads and it seems quite tasty to me
But also a recommendation to use young leaves, old ones can be a little bitter
Wash and chop fresh dandelion leaves, pour olive oil, add a little salt and a few drops of lemon juice.
The flower and root are used for tea, soups, stews ... but I haven't prepared anything yet, when I find a good recipe, I'll share my impressions

Sort:  

The ground is still frozen here and today we are getting ice pellets with freezing rain. Not a pleasant day to be outside.

In a couple of month I will be seeing as many Dandelions here as well.

Some people make wine with them but I don't drink alcohol so no good to me. But, I have eaten the young shoots. May have to cut and freeze some to prepare for the USA Economic War declared on us. !LOLZ

We had "nice" frosts here, the apricots were damaged
Now they are reporting frost again on Sunday, otherwise the daily temperature goes up to 20 degrees, nice and sunny days
We also received sanctions from the USA, But you are first neighbors, we are far across the ocean and half of Europe :)

The #TooFuckeh Trump Tariffs have a global impact so it matters not where you are but what you do about it. !LOLZ

Have a great day.

May Positive pepEntropy be with you.
