    Come discuss at !foraging@lemm.ee I’ve eaten dandelion before and I’m still hear to tell the story. I’ve made side dish of the stem. And it taste good. It’s a vegetable without a strong taste.
    The leaves are grow and sell as salad even if it is not as common as lettuce. It has much more flavour than to stem.

      Dandelion leaves can be bitter but some people actually cannot taste bitter. One way to reduce the bitter taste is to pick the youngest and fastest growing leaves out of direct sunlight, as sun exposure increases bitterness.

        Sure but it will still have bitterness and that’s what there is to like about this type of salad
