We don't even have to plant the medicine, y'all--it just pops up like weeds!
Dandelion here is awesome for detox, particularly of the liver and blood. It is anti-inflammatory, high in antioxidants, and has been shown to have anti-cancer properties! That's pretty awesome for growing up out of the dirt for free.
The leaves, roots, and flowers can be eaten or steeped in tea. The greens are slightly bitter, so a little goes a long way. I like to use handfuls of the leaves along with handfuls of basil to make a pesto by blending with olive oil, garlic, sunflower seeds, parmesan cheese, and a little lemon and himalayan salt.
š Sara!
