Tastes like: the root is earthy, toasty, and slightly bitter, like a mellow coffee; the leaf is green and lightly bitter, like arugula. Both are naturally caffeine-free.
Most people spend their lives trying to get rid of it. But that bright yellow "weed" in your yard has been one of the most treasured plants in herbal tradition for more than 1,000 years, valued in Traditional Chinese Medicine, European herbalism, and Native American traditions alike.
Every part of the dandelion is edible. Its leaves are naturally rich in vitamins A, C, and K, calcium, iron, and potassium, and its root contains inulin, a prebiotic fiber that feeds beneficial gut bacteria.*
Root vs. Leaf
Root — the traditional choice for liver and digestive wellness. Prepare by simmering 10–15 minutes.
Leaf — the traditional choice for healthy fluid balance and a nutrient-rich green cup. Prepare by steeping 10 minutes.
