Okay, so they may be pesky weeds that deserve a painful death by spraying to most people, but in certain situations, dandelions can literally mean the difference between life and death. If you like to eat any other types of greens (raw or cooked), like spinach, lettuce, collards, kale or arugula, you should try eating dandelion greens.

Why Eat Dandelions?

Dandelions are an easy (and free) resource that can grow in a variety of locations. You can grow them on your own property and they can serve as a valuable addition to wild game and fish as well as other edible plants and mushrooms. You can grow your own garden — in fact, you’ll want to — but it’s always a good idea to have as many food sources as possible available at a moment’s notice. Unlike standard seeds, dandelions simply show up and grow vigorously without any effort or expense at all.
