Dandelions
Ever eat a dandelion? Many parts are edible. In fact, all parts of the common dandelion are edible. The flowers can be deep fried fresh, or dried and added to quick breads and muffins. The stems can be washed, used in a stir fry or a substitute for noodles, and the roots make a calming tea. Not only that, but the leaves make a very nutritious salad with a vinaigrette dressing.
So next time you see a dandelion, instead of seeing only a weed, you might want to look at it as a wild food.
