Spring is here,so it is time for dandelion's,and no they are not weeds. My thought is that every season nature gives us signs for our body. For me dandelions are natures way to tell us it is time to wake up my insides. I like to drink it as a tea. The tea comes in various forms, roasted roots or dried leaves,or even a combo with both. For me if I am feeling sluggish or tried I go straight to dandelion, especially after a long winter. Really helps my liver to function better,and for water retention in the warmer months. Dandelion roast root tea has a coffee or woody flavor,it is full body,people even substitute it for morning coffee,because of the satisfying taste. The dried leaves have a mild woody flavor. I will give a few different brands at the end of the post. You can also eat the dandelion leaves fresh,they have a bitter favor,you can mix them with other greens like kale or spinach which makes them milder. Make a salad or even just in a sandwich. Most health food stores or markets sell the fresh leaves. You can also forge for the leaves, the young leaves in spring are delicious. If you forge make sure that the grass has not been sprayed with chemicals,and no dogs or cats have used the area you are going to forge. Not by a main road because of the pollution given of by the cars. So note when spring is here dandelion's should be one of our first thought for our spring body.
The last thought the tea is vegan!!!!!
