The dandelion is mostly known as a backyard weed, but it has amazing nutrient quality and health promoting properties. Old-timers in the north referred to the dandelion as "spring tonic" because it is the first edible green to grow after a long, cold winter. According to the USDA, the entire plant is edible, and all parts can be used. The Dandelion plant is Loaded with antioxidants & boosts your immune system. They are a surprising source of nutrients. Its leaves and root contain substantial levels of vitamins A, C, D, and B complex as well as iron, magnesium, zinc, potassium, manganese, copper, choline, calcium, boron, silicon, phosphorus, thiamin, riboflavin, beta carotene and fiber. They are actually more nutritious than most of the fruits and vegetables you can buy in the grocery store. **Dandelion Leaves can taste somewhat bitter. Like lettuce, they are best (less bitter) when harvested BEFORE flowering, when the leaves are laying flat with the soil, during their first year. Dandelion can be replanted fresh several times during the growing season. **To improve flavor, keep the planting area consistently moist throughout the season. **If raw dandelion leaves don't appeal to you, they can also be steamed or added to a stir-fry or soup, which can eliminate the bitterness. **The root of the dandelion can be added to any recipe that calls for root vegetables. **The flowers are sweet and crunchy, and can be eaten raw, or breaded and fried, or even used to make dandelion syrup or wine.

It stimulates urination, but also replaces the potassium lost to the increased volume of urine." - Thereby, it helps open urinary passages to clear painful urinary dysfunction, - “Dandelion root and leaf are one of the best liver cleansers because it is mildly chloretic, (that is, an agent for stimulating the release of bile from the liver into the gallbladder).

The release of bile is laxative, and accelerates the breakdown of various steroid hormones, causing an indirect, favorable effect on eczema and other skin conditions.
