Nutrition for humans
Did you know humans can eat dandelions too? Whether you chuck them in a salad or blend them into a smoothie, they’re very beneficial to our health.
In fact, some experts say dandelions are one of the most nutritious vegetables you can grow.
According to MOFGA, Dandelions have more Vitamin A than spinach, more Vitamin C than tomatoes and a whole load of iron, calcium and potassium.
Dandelion is french for lion tooth, and it got this name because of its lion-toothed leaves that could heal a range of nasty ailments from dandruff to depression.
If you’re taking them from your own garden, just make sure you’ve given them a thorough cleaning to get rid of any chemicals from gardening products.
