Fortunately, dandelions are plentiful in many parts of the world, and it won’t take you too long before you can gather hundreds of these flowers. If you’re simply curious or have guests to feed, you can consider using the leaves, buds and roots as well. The firsts will make a perfect spinach substitute when cooked, the second are great pickled or sautéed, and the third, when dried, can be turned into a tea which can contribute to a healthy liver. Dandelion is used in traditional medicine from North America to China, and its latex, a white fluid flowing through its stem, can be refined to make a natural rubber. | Fortunately, dandelions are plentiful in many parts of the world, and it won’t take you too long before you can gather hundreds of these flowers.
