In some places, Dandelion is an edible plant, and good for salad. However, I really do not know whether Americans consume this plant or not now days.
In addition to source of nutrients, Dandelion contain antioxidants. The plant is used commonly as traditional medicines for:
- liver infections
- rheumatism
- constipation
Cat’s Ear Dandelion was well known by the first settlers in North America as a traditional (herbal) remedy to treat:
- a diuretic for kidney problems
- gallstones
- and treating urinary infection
Do you recognize this kind of flower in the nature?

In the US, especially in the Mid-west, Dandelions are total weeds, loving to grow in lawns and cracks. While a handful, (a tiny handful) of people may try to make dandelion wine, (I knew of one neighbor); mostly people spray their lawns to prevent dandelions, and basically no-one consumes it here in the US. It is a plant that even young children know the name of, because it is so common.
