Love dandelions! I make jelly, salve, vinegar, infused oil, tea, tincture and wine! People laugh at me all the time for picking them. I have them in my yard, but I also plant them in pots as well. I dry the leaves and keep them in mason jars and use them all year round in my morning smoothie! Thank you for the video, I feel lonely in the dandelion world. I try to tell people how healthy they are but they think I'm nuts. Thank you Doug and Stacy!

I don't know why I never thought to grow some in pots. Every spring I search my yard for them, but my soil here doesn't grow them. When we first moved in, it wouldn't hardly grow grass either. Nearly 25 years later, I've got many plants, but still no dandelions. (I've even harvested seeds from other places in hopes they'll take root. Hubby just shakes his head.)

My Sicilian grandmother used to give us kids a knife and bag and tell us a 1.00 to the one who brings me the most back! Loved that time of year!

My grandmother from Eastern Europe would make a salad of dandelions, most of the parts, with sour cream, a little apple cider vinegar and sugar. It was so delicious!

Mash the leaves and place in the middle of a clean cloth that you don't otherwise care about. Because it'll be stained green. Gather up the sides and bind them so you have a sack with the greens in it. Bring that water back to being hot. Then remove it from the heat and set your cloth sack in it. When the temperature is bearable pull the sack out and wring it out so it just moist. It's ready to be placed on the needed area. Keep it moist and warm. The area will seem to get worse before it releases. The heat and the greens seem to work together to make it infection release and heal up faster.

When ever I've made dandelion tea, I've always left them to brew for a day, then poor into a pot, bring the tea to a boil and leave on then boil for roughly 5 minutes, strain the flowers from the tea leave to cool then bottle it up. Its good for about a week in the fridge and have a big glass every morning before leaving for work.

I've been into Wild Lettuce for pain relief since last year. EDIT; Mike REED (not green)has great videos on its use, and a recipe for a WL omelet. I found whole villages of it on the hwy right of ways, but this spring I noticed it all over our yard! But be Sure that it hasn't been Sprayed! If left alone, it can grow to six or seven feet tall. But when mowed, it grows closer to the ground and only has the one stalk. Wild Lettuce and Dandelions are cousins, and look like brother and sister. Wild Lettuce has leaves that appear serrated, where Dandelions leaves have fairly straight edges. The blooms of each are yellow, and are very hard to tell apart. WL, or Prickly Lettuce has hairs or soft bristles under the stems when it gets mature. KNOW what you are eating. The whole WL plant can be utilized, but the milky substance that appears when a stem is broken is Lacticarium, and this is a natural pain reliever that some say is more powerful than Morphine! I grind up the whole plant (not fine) and barely cover with water. Keep under 200 degrees, and simmer (I use an old crock pot that only gets 195) for a few hours covered. Then I drain off and mix while still warm with coconut oil, for a tincture. It aborbs quickly on the skin, and gives a few good hours of relief from back pain.

That salad looks GREAT, been bringing in all the dandelion seeds for the yard as I can, Thank You for sharing

Oh my gosh! I did not know you could do all that with dandelions! Thank you so much.

Love your videos. Been watching them for quite some time. My great grandmother from Ireland used to grow dandelions in her garden as a crop and if anyone messed with them they were in trouble ! lol Great stuff, so good for you !!!

I watch you guys ever change I get. Wish I had started sooner. Thanks , and God Bless.

The Greeks have been eating the leaves of same family plant as a wilted cold salad forever. They're best harvested after a heavy rain, more of it to eat & they are soooo delicious with seafood. 🐟🌿🍋

This is exactly what I've been looking for. Now, I love all my dandelions. Thank you for sharing! 🌼

Thank you for sharing your wonderful dandelion recipes!!! 😃👍 I am a newbie and your tips from harvest to practical preparation are certainly appreciated❣ I'm looking forward to that yummy looking dandelion salad and ice tea. God Bless you both for your contributions to healthy living.😇🙏

This is a great bitter herb salad for Passover 🙌🏽 Thank you!

Great Idea! Could replace the horse radish.

Stacy, I love your recipes! Thanks for showing all of us what can be done with those little gems! Tomorrow I forage for dandelions!

Doug and Stacy you guys rock!! I'm loving all the great tips,ideas and recipes! I know it's alot to run a farm,garden and becoming self sufficient,but you make it look so fun and ez!! Keep up the wonderful job and know you've got some fans out here!! Sending good vibes and energies from NC💚👩‍🦳✌🌱

Wow, that pie plate is awesome. Love it. Waiting patiently for our dandelions to come up. Daffodils are just starting now. Love spring, gives us something to look forward to through the winter. Especially in the Northeast

Absolutely loved the different ideas for dandelions!! Super cool food!

I so happen to walk my dog daily, and dandelion is blooming everywhere. I took interest taking pictures of every blooming trees, flowers, plants that I come across and often wonder what to do with the dandelion. Thank you for your video, and the wonderful ideas to prepare them, loved all the recipes you had shown here, I will give it a try.

I can't believe this video came up on my recommended videos! I love dandelions and I have been eating the flowers raw the past week, as well as the leaves and roots, too, over the years. My husband thinks I'm crazy, even though I told him how healthy it is! Thanks for the recipes. I love how you are so friendly and cheerful! The video was so enjoyable to watch. I am subscribing and will be back to see more. Have a great day! 😊💕

I am now craving that salad and it’s not even 8 AM. The tea sounds amazing also. I like to just crush some spearmint leaves in my water in drink it all day. My son-in-law’s dad gets a piece of Ayres pottery every year where he works. It’s absolutely beautiful.

Watched this video last night and couldn’t wait to put our dandelions to use! I went out and foraged about half of them from the yard today (leaving plenty for the bees), and I’m now making a tea. I didn’t have any mint leaves yet, so I just threw in a mint teabag. I would never have thought to use the remaining liquid on my acid loving plants, so thank you R. Ernie! Can’t wait to taste this tea when I’m done in the garden today. 😊

This video was super duper helpful!! My Fiancé and are just starting our homestead adventure and the all natural, pre-provided blessings like dandelion are plentiful. Thanks for showing us how to use them!! Looking forward to the Dandelion Root video 😁

Been watching you all since the first of the year. The raised beds you built hooked me. I set up 2 following your tips and advice. By all the complements we are getting over just the beds I can’t see how we don’t succeed in having a wonderful vegetable garden this year. Thanks Doug, and thank you Stacy for all.

Stacy, I'm so glad you did this video! I remember my mom used to do so much with dandelions when I was very young (early to mid 70's). She never really showed us kids how to properly use them. My grandmother made an incredible dandelion wine, but once again no recipe. To this day people ask me if I know how to make that wine, lol! She was known well around Salem MO for that wine back in the day. I remember her selling it, and people commenting that it was the best they had ever had... unfortunately she never shared her secret even with her daughter's, ugh! Anyway, thankful you're willing to share your knowledge. Love, hugs, prayers, and blessings!!!🙏❤😀

You both are amazing! The world needs more good loving people.

How timely was this video! I love the ingredients for the tea and am going to make sun tea with my herbs. Dandelions and Sassafras are wonderful tonics in the spring after a winter of not many greens in our diet. God made these herbs and plants for our benefit and I thank you for sharing all of your knowledge with us. It is truly wisdom that would be lost without sweet people like you Stacy to share this wisdom with us. Thank you and God bless you sweetie

I thoroughly enjoyed your video! I like how you embrace the dandelion. I have a new appreciation. Thank you.

Wow you guys are awesome !!! Currently a woman in waiting for my husband to take me off the grid so we can live like this so simple and satisfying! 😊

I saw a man batter the dandelion flowers up and fry them. He made a burdock and honey dip, and it looked awesome. He was a pretty skilled cook. Thanks for sharing your life, more beneficial than you might think.

Loved this video! I moved to an elderly complex where we're allowed to plant gardens. The whole property has medicinal plants for me to forage and no, they don't use pesticides or fertilizers. We have lots of dandelions, Usnea, Wild Lettuce, Wild Spinach and a huge Forsythia bush right outside my first floor window (yes, I'm 64 but I can still climb out my window lol) I was able to get lots of Forsythia flowers, roots and bark to make my own Chinese herbal medicine. I'd love a recipe to make a dandelion tincture too. I love to suck on and chew the stem. I guess that comes from making curly cues on the stalk as a kid. I'm sure there's more plants on this property that are medicinal and I need to figure out which ones are. We have a little park with benches with an island in the middle full of trees, flowering bushes, with lots of wild plants growing.

Love this..love this time of year..I love dandelions in my salad as well as plantain, purslane, dead nettle, and manari. Thanks!

I am learning so much from you. Foraging dandelions has been so much fun and a great learning experience for my whole family. Thank you so much for sharing all that you do. 😊

The pottery is beautiful!!! Love dandelions!

Just stumbled upon this. Loving your humbling energy and I cannot wait to try this recipe 🙏🏼😊

Thank you, Stacy and Doug, for sharing your home and knowledge with us! I just discover your KZread video. I like the recipes Stacy offered. I will keep looking for your videos. Thanks, again!😊

I am glad I found you. This is very helpful. I need this for my family.

Thanks guys love your light!✨☀️ I was just talking about them yesterday!! Great video and I will share it to put light on these Blessings, because a lot of people think they're weeds and don't realize what they are digging up and wasting! I always drink dandelion tea, I love it, it's so good for us, and it's good to the let people know how medicinal and healthy these beautiful flowers are for us!! God's Blessings 🙏💫☀️🙆🌎 Thanks for all you do!! Love and Light 💖🙋✨💫☀️ Namaste

I never knew dandelions were so healthy. Can't wait to try them now! 😊

Just found your videos today this is my second one. So thankful that you record these unique ways so that I can learn and start doing what you’re teaching. I’ve share the first video already to several people and will do this one as well. Keep up the good work because it’s so needed. 😊

I just started here and I live in Massachusetts I love dandelions and always wanted to learn home growing. I live in an apt but I will keep watching thank you .

Thanks for your recipe Stacy. The first time I was taught to picking up dandelions and turning it into a tea, was through a friend in 1996, who saw I was feeling sick, and after drinking it, I recovered quickly within days. To this day, I eat dandelion salads and also add it to my soups. 😇
