Dandelions (Taraxacum officinale) have been used for centuries as food and for medicinal purposes. From a nutritional standpoint they rank very high compared to most other foods! For more info see the links below.I want to thank Canadian singer Allan Rankin for granting me permission to use his song for the video, Don't Kill the Dandelion. Allan Rankin is a Prince Edward Island singer-songwriter, former senior public servant, and writer. Over a career spanning more than thirty years, Allan held senior positions in the provincial government, and also worked as a policy advisor in Ottawa.Be sure to check out his website at http://www.theislandheartbeat.com/- Dandelion (identification, distinguishing features, flowers, leaves, height, habitat & edible parts): https://www.ediblewildfood.com/dandelion.aspx- Baked Dandelion Recipe: https://www.ediblewildfood.com/baked-dandelion.aspx- Dandy Muffin Tops Recipe: https://www.ediblewildfood.com/dandy-muffin-tops.aspx- Dandelion Banana Bread Recipe: https://www.ediblewildfood.com/dandelion-banana-bread.aspx- Belgium Wild Beer Recipe: https://www.ediblewildfood.com/belgium-wild-beer.aspxSOURCES:- http://www.herballegacy.com/Chhabra_Medicinal.html- http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/vegetables-and-vegetable-products/2441/2- https://bibliotecadigital.ipb.pt/bitstream/10198/9792/4/Taraxacum_FRI-Revised%20(2).pdf- http://www.ccba.bc.ca/discuss1/_disc1/00000335.htm#dandelion #Taraxacumofficinale #dandelionrecipes
