    Roundup doesn’t want you to know this. In their eyes… Dandelions are weeds, which is such a sad opinion.

      Dandelions are awesome! You can make a salad of them with great health benefits and dandelion honey is also great! And the latex milk it has can be used to make rubber!

        You can also make tea out of the leaves, root, and flowers (all together, or some combination of the three).

        Dandelions have a lot of vitamin A and C, some B vitamins, calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, copper, and zinc. It’s good for the skin, liver, and digestion. It’s a diuretic and can help with cramps.
