is the dandelion flower edible?

[GardenGuy06]

if it isn't sprayed with anything, yes!

Beautiful! Harvesting local plants for food and whatever should be part of a standard education. Thank you for sharing [08!

I agree, why isn't this standard education requirement in all high schools? For optimum safety, it is best to grow them yourself. Their weeds, so their easy to grow. If not I would think it best to eat them out far away from maintained land and buildings, in a secluded area that you know will not have been sprayed with chemicals or toxic wasted dumped or vehicle exhaust fumes. To get seeds, just harvest anywhere, growing them will contain no poisons or very little, or grow the next set of seeds.

It's something' how the Government doesn't inform us of these things. Going natural no chemicles included :).

@LatinoNinja98 how amazing...NOT

My father who grew up during the great depression once told me that any weed is edible if you put vinegar and pepper on it. However, aside from the poison ones, it's true.

@Maird79 Where live sorrel is sour. Whole grain mustard is better than mustard powder I guess in mustard vinaigrette I was thinking of the wild mustard in the salad mix maybe giving a mustard flavor. Then again salad dressings are unlimited. Maybe the people who made the video are just not as spoiled and particular about perfection as chefs like you and I Maybe they just eat to live rather than live to eat

[Maird79]

@ahamatmabrahman i said a little (dressing) = salad dressing of your own choice taste etc, and i said (seasoning) = salt & pepper and whatever else you want to funk it up with

sorrel is nothing like lemon or vinegar. and why would you add dry musterd powder to a salad?

i am a chef and i have knocked that many salads out to the customers over the years trust me my freind i know about larder/starter section work

thanks for posting

[ahamatmabrahman]

@Maird79 I think the sorrel would serve as a lemon or vinegar substitute and you wouldn't have to add mustard powder/paste but I'll be adding some oil, salt and maybe pepper to mine Thanks for posting

[ahamatmabrahman]

Thank you for posting I would have liked a real close up of each leaf though as I think i have the violets here but I'm not completely sure if that's what they are

[cypresspeter2008]

Where are they? Where is "here?" Miner's Lettuce grows in the central valley in California.

[mintusdime]

you americans get a lot better weeds than we do all we get are fucking dandelions. Cat-tails aren't too bad though (but i dont find them in my garden)

[ellie3637]
