lthough dandelion root and dandelion leaf are part of the same flowering plant, Taraxacum officinale, and deemed by gardeners as a total nuisance, the truth is that this wish-granting so-called weed is one not to be thrown away.

Dandelions are a member of the Asteraceae family, and native to Europe, Asia, and North America. Incredibly, some botanists have divided dandelions as a species into as many as 2000 microspecies, with about 235 having been recorded in Great Britain and Ireland. So, with dandelions being so prevalent across the globe, and knowing all parts are also delightfully edible, it’s a good to know how nutrient-dense they are.

Dandelion root is currently being used to increase appetite, and increase the overall functionality of the digestive system.
