The great advantage of dandelions is their availability and easy identification.  Find meadows or areas that have not been treated with pesticide and wild foragers.  Also, watch out for places that are near roads as they can pick up pollution or pathways where many dogs or cats visit. 

Forage on a sunny day when the blossoms are wide open and are not wet from previous days rain. Ideally, when you bring the blossoms home you should start to prepare them immediately.

Don’t wash them unless you’re not sure that they aren’t contaminated in some way as the pollen is the ingredient with a great taste and smell. Make sure they are bug free though. In this recipe, the Dandelions we elected to rinse them off first.

Avoid any bitterness by removing the bitter tasting green receptacle at the base of the flower. You can cut it off with scissors or a paring knife.

Health Benefits of Dandelions

Dandelion greens can be eaten cooked or raw and are an excellent source of vitamins A, C, and K. They also contain vitamin E, folate, and small amounts of other B vitamins. Dandelion greens provide a substantial amount of several minerals, including iron, calcium, magnesium, and potassium. The root of the dandelion is rich in the carbohydrate inulin, a type of soluble fiber found in plants that supports the growth and maintenance of healthy gut bacteria in your digestive tract.
