Originating in Europe, these plants have edible leaves, flowers, and roots, commonly used in salads, teas, and herbal remedies. Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as antioxidants, dandelions support digestion and boost the immune system.

While generally healthy, it’s best to enjoy them in moderation, as they can have a laxative effect in large amounts. Discover the hidden benefits of dandelions, nature’s resilient superfood!
