Dandelions Can Fix The Root of Your Health Problems!

One of the most problematic flowers of the summer for gardeners is the dandelion, which tend to pop out all over the place. These flowers tend to spread fast since the flower first turns yellow, then it turns into cotton-like balls that include seeds and get blown away by the wind. Which is why this flower tends to repopulate so quickly. But not so fast, even though gardeners and those that love their lawn perfectly green hate to see the sight of any yellow dandelion, you should know that dandelions could be eaten (including the root) and they are actually a green source for your health.

The entire plant can be consumed, even though the dandelion roots are the best part of the plant. It is recommended to harvest the roots in the fall, which is when the levels of inulin or insoluble fiber are the highest and the fructose levels are the lowest. You can dry them, which is the best way to use them at a later time. Once the roots are dry you can make tea. The flowers can also be eaten, but it’s important to only eat those that haven’t been touched by pesticides.
