Dandelion are not a leaf that you can buy from a store and why would
you?
Dandelions grow like a weed and many consider them a weed. But to
me, they are not a weed and in fact, are one of my favorite greens.
When picking dandelion leaves, choose small leaves. The larger the
leaf, the more bitter the taste. Dandelion leaves are best picked
in the spring but you can pick them all summer too. Avoid picking
leaves in the areas where chemical fertilizers or pesticides have
been used.
I pick dandelion leaves from my backyard as I use no chemicals in
the yard. Some pick dandelion leaves from fields. Try to avoid picking
leaves that are close to roads and especially highways.
Important:
Due to the fact that Dandelion Greens are a green juice, you will
find it beneficial to have no more than about ΒΌ of your juice consisting
of green juice.
Dandelion is very concentrated and so I try not use to any more than
1 ounce in every 8 ounce glass.
General:
When I was a child, I used to have nettle soup all the time. Both
nettles and dandelion leaves are traditional herbal remedies which
have stood the test of time. This is definitely one of my favorite
herbs.
In the fall, I like to dig up Dandelion Roots and juice them. The
roots are bitter and thus need to be mixed with other vegetables.
Dandelion Roots are best picked in the fall (September onwards) and
Dandelion Greens are best picked in the spring. Of course, you can
pick roots and leaves all year if you want. But spring and fall are
the best for the leaves and roots respectively.
Dandelion Roots are a tap root like carrots and parsnip. I unfortunately
don't have the nutritional analysis for Dandelion Roots otherwise
I would have added it.
Both Dandelion Roots and Greens have been used by herbalists for
centuries. Traditionally Dandelion Roots and Greens have been used
to help support the liver.
