The Health Benefits of Eating Dandelion Greens
Both ubiquitous and reviled by homeowners desirous of a perfectly manicured lawn, the common dandelion is edible and offers a wealth of nutritional and medicinal benefits. Fresh dandelion greens have a mild, pleasant, slightly bitter flavor and are available at many health food stores. If you eschew chemical fertilizers and other lawn treatments you might consider controlling your dandelions by harvesting them.
