The dandelion is often regarded as a weed that takes over lawns and gardens.  Lucky for us, it is also an excellent food and herbal medicine that anyone can find and grow, and put to use.

​

Dandelion is a very rich source of beta-carotene which we convert into Vitamin A.  This flowering plant is also rich in vitamin C, fiber, potassium, iron, calcium, magnesium, zinc, and phosphorus.  It is a good place to get B complex vitamins, trace minerals, organic sodium, and even vitamin D.  Dandelion also contains more protein than Spinach.
