In my Rawsome book by Bridgett Mars dandelions are mentioned as edible flowers so it could be possible you could eat the whole flower. I read somewhere it is a powerful flower but I don’t remember where. So you may not be able to eat too much of it at one time. I haven’t thought about consuming it myself. I think it is interesting you mentioned dandelions because my mom was saying yesterday she heard something about it on the news. It was good things but I wasn’t paying attention. Sorry.
Well I know anything yellow is good for liver cleansing. It seems odd to eat a flower that is so common and ignored and thought of as a pesky weed, but I am drawn to them so I will give it a go and keep you posted.
I think you’re supposed to use it as an addition to salads, and not use it like a regular lettuce like kale or romaine.
Also, I’ve read on the rawfoods.com forums that it will make your pee yellow and smelly.
I love the greens but the flowers are very bitter from what I remember. I ate a tonne when I was little and I haven’t tried them since.
