Dandelion Greens

EverydayFresh

Dandelion greens are edible leafy vegetables harvested from the common dandelion plant, characterized by their distinctive serrated leaves and slightly bitter flavor profile. These nutrient-dense greens are particularly rich in vitamins A and K, iron, and antioxidants, making them a valuable addition to salads and sautéed dishes. Fresh dandelion greens can be foraged or cultivated, with younger leaves offering a milder taste that becomes more pronounced as the plant matures.
