How To Pick The RIGHT Dandelion Leaves

Описание: Happy Easter Everybody! Have you ever picked bitter Dandelion leaves? If you've ever tried them I'm sure you have, but today I wanted to show you guys how to avoid those bitter leaves. I'll also talk a little bit about why they are bitter and how it's not necessarily a bad thing.

The salts in Dandelion are actually good for you, however it's really a question of how much can you handle. Things like exposure to sun, high temperatures, bad soil, lots of competition, etc. will make the plant bitter. Whereas shaded, well drained, rich soils with little competition will allow them to thrive. It's these leaves that you are after as they will be the more delicious greens.

I also show you guys the very first stages of the Mayapple which is edible, medicinal, and poisonous depending on which part you use and at what strength. I would not recommend using this plant unless you 100% know what you are doing, and which part you are using.
