Dandelion is both food and medicine. "Let your medicine be your food and your food be your medicine." - Hippocrates So what do homeowners do? They kill the dandelion with herbicides, poisoning not just the Dandelion, but everything else. Pesticides are not silver bullets. 1 in 3, sorry now it is 1 in 2.7 Americans will have some form of cancer in their lifetimes. Connect the dots.

[pa1nt13aller]

i ate my dandelion garden and now im in the hospital :(

[FloridianAsshole22]

the guys voice cracks me up.

[coolbluekazoo]

i love science its flippen awesome like batman

[mrslancaster63]

make a nice sauce with oliveoil, vinegar, mustard and some spices. take the light green dandelion leafs. and a carrot chopped into small pieces. the best salad ever!

[leahcimrac]

Fuck juicing it just eat them. Most weeds are edible and free.

[88kmitchell]

Nice video, the Lord led me to Dandoline, its amazing for the system

[godschildyes]

Great video! So I can juice these with apples and things of the like?

[arashaada40]

You are absolutely right, Dandelion is very good for you.

[2305674]

show us the red ones , to cure poison from giant spiders.

[steviemovie]

I love them too-I am now running out in my own back yard-but am afraid to eat them anywhere else with un managed use of chemical poisons.

[hwiseman1]

@steviemovie Buy them from your grocer. They have them bunched in the fresh greens' section. That way, you avoid the poisons.

[steviemovie]

@hwiseman1 maybe you have me mixed up with someone else?-sure I can buy them at the grocer-but why when i can get them free and pesticide free in my own back yard- I also discovered Purslane in my garden growing-wow it's a delicious "weed"

[hwiseman1]

@steviemovie Oh, sorry, misread your post to "afraid to eat them due to the chemical poison." I sprayed my weeds so I have to buy them. I don't know how long those poisons remain in the ground. I'd like to get them from the yard, tho.

[steviemovie]

@hwiseman1 that's ok-I wish I knew the answer to that question too-there is a spray ban in effect here in Toronto but I think some people find a way around it-cause they think not having dandelions is so damn important they will drive to Buffalo to get it-the poison-wow-really amazing where our priorities can be

[sentient23]

@steviemovie yeah no doubt, i have done some landscaping here in the usa, and people will pay me to remove fully mature blackberry bushes from their yard.... imagine that eh? people also want you to spray their yard to stop dandelions and other useful herbs and food from growing.

[steviemovie]

@sentient23 hey thanks for the reply-yes people here are just as strange-thanks for confirming we live on a somewhat screwed continent...

[CalvinSomething]

@Azuremaidens The whole reason they are so nutritious is that their root goes very deep into the ground and soaks up nutrients that aren't available in the garbage soil we've left on top.

[LoveRainbowFilly]

So freakin' cool! My family and I have been on a "dandelion crusade" lately too! LOVE IT!

Do you know anything about "ramps"? Just heard of them...

[acidfriend47]

show me how to eat it.

[informationwarfare]

@acidfriend47 roast the root, crush up and use as coffee subsitute. eat the leaves as a salad green, make tea or a tincture. You can include the flower in the tea, you can also eat that and the stem.

[TheOutdoorsman07]

watch a couple of the videos on my channel, one explains the uses of dandelions and dandelion tea. they can help the body a lot

[keithypops]

Great video thanks.

Been looking alot into this recently, there are lots of "weeds" that are really good for us to ingest.

[karenchakey]

Do they help you sleep? I tried them for the first time last night in my salad and I over slept this morn! I feel great!

[TheYAHnitarian]

I collect seeds during the year from my dandelions and grow them in containers indoors. My balcony is covered in dandelion sprouts at any given time of the warm months.

[trustmate]

Superfood...doh!

[trustmate]

Supermoon...not moon ...daft phone!

[trustmate]

I'm chuffed that people are taking this supermoon seriously....its name in Latin means curer of ailments,..bit of a clue there!:)

[MartinHDJ]

Shame you can't smoke it!

[PwaiChung]

What's it do for damaged livers? A friend is struggling to find ANYTHING that might repair his liver so that he doesn't need a transplant. We've read various things, both good and bad, regarding dandelions and liver disease. Thanks.

[EndlessChris]

@PwaiChung Milk Thistle seeds are supposed to be extremely beneficial for the liver.

[OvergrowDaGovernment]

i heard the leaves are = arrugila -lettuce like-

[poopz]

forreal???

[shaigen1]

ಠ_ಠ

[WinyanStaz]

Because older leaves tend to be more bitter, if you need to, you can place a cardboard box or some kind of board or cover over the dandylion plant for a few days until the leaves beging to turn a pale green. You will find them sweeter and tasty.

[thejoshfromtexas]

his voice does not go with the purpose of this vid. great! :D

[adancershear1]

@thejoshfromtexas what does that mean? could you please explain so that we understand what you mean?

[MrsNewAmericaNow]

You want to use the roots before they flower or they start to get a bitter taste. We eat the whole plant. We've made flower fritters, syrup, coffee, pasta and salads with the dandelion. Can't wait to make the wine this year! It was first brought over by the first settlers as a quick easy growing food source. It's truly a wonderful plant that "roundup" would have you kill off!

[jw11432]

its almost hard to take a guy who sounds like a gangster thug serious when he's talking about harvesting wild plants for their health benefits lol cool video though :P

[Mindpetals]

@jw11432 hahaha..... that person speaking is "Khalik Allah" of the Wu Tang Clan (really, I'm not joking!) -- youtube him!

[adancershear1]

@jw11432 he DOESNT sound like a gangster he Sounds like a person of color, maybe black (gasp oh my God - a black person providing you with health information in the year 2011) you just might die from a contagious disease by letting his voice fall on your ears........ be careful! OH are you saying anyone that is black is a gangster......and someone that sounds white or asian or mexican is not a gangster, but maybe a librarian? How sad is your observation and the thought processes of your mind.

[jw11432]

@adancershear1 the fuck is wrong with you? there were no racial connotations to my comment, i was merely remarking on what i heard. ive never heard of any 'gangsta' type, whatever color they are, having an interest in homeopathic healing. you need to fucking relax and stop jumping to conclusions, you ignorant twat.

[barbous2]

thanks for those precious informations, you can find some useful information at e-how.co.cc

[Mindpetals]

@barbous2 Thanks so much for watching my video!!

[JadeiteGracie]

careful about the pokeweed. Phytolacca when mature is quite toxic.

[Mindpetals]

@JadeiteGracie Thanks for the pointer!

[TOMATNOSCE]

Best weed in my garden. I use them in my soups I make with my pressure cooker. Pressure cooker takes out the bitter flavor, especially if mixed with other foods in a soup. Thanks for sharing.

[Mindpetals]

@TOMATNOSCE It's a yummy "weed!!" ;) Thanks for watching.

[iKiCKMiiDGETS]

hahahahahaha WIN

[TrueGreatness73]

i got weeds that look like that but its kind of sharp with tiny bristles that looks like thorns but aint that sharp.. its in my front yard is that good?

[KaneAndersonW]

if its sap is milky and white its most likely poison

[TrueGreatness73]

@KaneAndersonW i tried it and it wasnt

[ventilize]

@TrueGreatness73 thank god it wasnt but thats quite a risk to take tho

[Kitt0000]

The root makes a great, sorta coffee like drink. Usually its dried and slightly roasted.

[zyoung111]

I love dandelions...i actually grow them in containors on the balcony and eat them every day.

[Mindpetals]

that's great!! thanks for watching our vid :)

[ventilize]

@zyoung111 how do you grow dandelions in a container?

[knowshen]

eye thought you said fruits and veggies is a poor food combination

juice it with Apples?

PEACE

[KhalikAllah89]

Peace Lord. My brother threw this vid up, but yeah thats me speaking. Apples are one of the only fruits that are able to be mixed with vegetables. For an indepth explanation read Juice Fasting by Steve Meyerowitz.

[knowshen]

thanks King He....the debate continues!!!!!!!

[knowshen]

PEACE

eye thought you said Fruits and Veggies is a poor food combination?

juice it with apples?

lemme know King He

[KhalikAllah89]

Juice it in the Juicer!!

[lollipoplemonade]

Can we eat both the dandelion flower AND the leaf? o:

[Mindpetals]

You can eat the entire plant, including the root!! enjoy.

[Mr420rush]

@Mindpetals Of course the root thats the most important part!!!!!!!!!!1

[telescopereplicator]

@Mindpetals ....except the stalk ! It contains a white liquid and that usually means it's bad for you.

But yes, you can eat everything else of a Dandelion. A very healthy plant. Too bad so few people have knowlegde about which plants you can eat and the nutrients they hold.

[NightHawkStriker]

@telescopereplicator there are exceptions as of plants with a white liquid, and those exceptions are the milkweed and the dandelion. It is harmless to eat the stem of a dandelion as all parts are edible and it is a exception to plants with a white liquid.

[tim3jones]

Dandelion are great!

[Mindpetals]

yes they are! :)
