Thanks, I’m an old man now, but I recall my grandfather making dandelion wine when I was in primary school, many, many years later when he passed away, my siblings and I met at his house, I recall we were chatting about our childhood memories and the dandelion wine topic came up, I went to the cellar and retrieved a bottle of dandelion wine and brought it up to the parlor and we all shared a cordial glass, I toasted Dzidzau with a second shot and it was a fitting salute to the life of a remarkable man.

What a lovely memory. Thank you for sharing it James.

Dandelions are nature's way to improve your soil, typically they will show up on poor soil, heavy clay, etc. I love them, the spring leaves are great in a salad, the roots dry roasted make a nice coffee substitute, and the flower, other than being so pretty, is nice to add to liquid honey in your jar (break up flower down to loose petals, make sure petals are dry), it is so lovely and adds an additional nutrient boost to your food. Of course, last but not least, they are an early source of food for the bees. Our creator gave us everything we need to not only survive but also thrive. P.S. Please make sure to not use any dandelions that might have been sprayed with chemicals of any kind, both directly and indirectly. I gather them in early spring before we use our lawn mower to cut the grass for the first time.

I stopped mowing in Spring years ago after spending a sunny day staring at dandelions. I originally only wanted to leave an early food source for bees. Well, several years later my early lawn is mostly dandelions. I adore them. Those beautiful, golden, intricately beautiful little heads turning their faces all day to follow the sun. Oh. They make my heart sing. I ended up purchasing a small flag that I placed at the end of my yard. It reads, Don't mind me. I'm feeding the bees. My dandelions have Never been sprayed nor will they ever be. Totally organic. Now after watching this video I'm going to start experimenting with adding them to our diet.

I read about how the Japanese have a pink dandelion that grows native there. They use the flower the most as medicine and a whole meal. They either sautéed the dandelion heads, or made them into tempura. Then they used the roots for healing wounds and ridding infections by making a poultice or as a tea. The leaves were often wrapped around the head and made into tempura as well. Dandelions are awesome!! Yummy, beautiful, help bees, fix soil and are awesome for me! 🌼

As usual, this was discovered long ago but since our medical/health system is corrupted by $$$, the FDA is about as usedul as a blind guard dog who is easily distracted with treats. The biggest question is how to solve this issue. Not sure how to do that other than subsidizing industries that manufacture harmful food products which were once thought to be okay. E.g. you cant just make soybean production illegal (fermented is finne but the vast majority is not fermented). Entire farms have become dedicated to its production. So how do you make the shift without destroying an industry or part of it? The gov/the population should support farmers to change to healthier options or else an entire sector of the economy could collapse. The other option is what we have now which is a shitkoad of money soent by farmers who ban together and pay lobbyists to prevent legislation that is not favorible to their $$ interests and muddy the waters.

When I was a young boy my grandmother told me to use the milk inside the stem to remove a wart I had on my hand - it worked perfectly!

As an Italian, we all ate/eat dandelion all the time. My parents would send us out to forage for dandelions. We make a dandelion salad. It’s so good with raw onion, tomato with just extra virgin oil, and vinegar. Sometimes my mom would put anchovies in the salad. So damn good. I still eat them.

Well, you certainly changed my perspective on the dandelion. I used to rip them up out of ignorance. A lesson I have learned along the way is that one has to respect everything that crosses your path in life. Thanks for all the advice and time that you give us. You are a true nurturer.

Dandelions are completely eatable the flower, the greens, the stem and the root. All of it very healthy Vitamins A,B,C,D &K also two types English and French (leaf is thinner and golden in color. I’m super excited to make a bunch of different recipe with these new favorites ❤

Dandelions are golden like the sun…this alone tells me that they are good. I’ve been drinking dandelion tea for 30 years. I love it. Thanks for your video.

Dandelions are real food for regular people. The flowers are so easy to use and the greens, too. They are one of my top 5 favorite wild greens, just because they are so plentiful, good for so much of the year, and so good to eat. Enjoy those dandelions -- flowers and all!

It is important to note that the dandelion greens you buy in the store are not the real dandelions like in this video. Grocery dandelion greens are actually wild chicory (Cichorium intybus) which is a weed that has purple-blue flowers and grows on the side of the road. :D

You can make coffee from the roots. Dry them, grind them, hot water. Perfect.

Here in Durango, Co, we love the dandelion so much we have a yearly festival for it. We have music, including songs praising dandelions, food, drink and medicine with dandelions.

Dandelion is so comforting to me My Italian grandmother taught me how to forage the leaves for salad. Italians love bitter greens. We mixed with onion red wine vinegar and olive oil salt and pepper and dinner was served!

I live in Australia and I eat every weed that grows in my yard, as well as the dandelions 😊 Bless you Brother 💞

Gorgeous Easter Sunday today... I went out and lay on the grass in the sunny back yard... and nibbled dandelion flowers. They were surprisingly sweet!

Bro I just started looking up things about dandelions cause I’m going through health issues and for the last three months you have been the most informative and most detailed so far thank you I appreciate it because of you I’m gonna start eating them

Astonishing young man who’s very learned!🙏✨❤️

Shocking how much information you can unload in one take! Very impressed

You forgot to mention that spraying dandelions also poisons the bees. It’s one of their main spring foods.

Definitely love all the info man!!! You shed alot of light on plants that I wouldn't give a second look at and you do it with very detailed explanations very much appreciated!

I’m going to leave Dandelions “roaring in my lawn” so I can harvest them and put them into salad and tinctures.

Adam, further to the amazing info provided in your video, I read a friend explain how a flavonoid called LUTEOLIN may assist our immune systems directly with CORONAVIRUS. And it just so happens after some surfing around, I found a study that showed DANDELION FLOWER to be very high in luteolin. "There is a natural flavonoid called luteolin, which occurs in many common foods, and acts as an inhibitor to a substance called furin. Furin occurs naturally in our bodies, but activates the spike protein on the coronavirus, thereby allowing it to enter our cells. By increasing our intake of foods high in luteolin, it may offer us additional support to avoid infections and disease progression." ~James Spears, doctor of herbal medicine

@@shapiemau2244 of course there are viruses that are called coronaviruses. CV is a well-studied family of viruses of which there must be hundreds of strains at least, and half a dozen of these that are known to infect humans, those which are some of the viruses responsible for the common cold in the early winter and the flu in late winter. This was the case for countless years before 2019. As for what came out of the lab as a bioweapon, that was only part coronavirus.

My mother's parents were Italian immigrates who settled in a Brooklyn house that had a postage sized back yard . One time my grandma came to visit us in upstate NY where we had s big back yard with a big vegetable garden . Anyway, she started to pick some of the many Dandelions,complete with its leaves. She cooked it with some Lima beans, olive oil etc and it was delicious,

I feel that God brought me to your video yesterday while I was out fishing... I could not stop looking at Dandelions along the river when I was finished praying out there. I started researching Dandelions as I was oddly fascinated by them all of a sudden. The research lead me to your video and basically confirmed that every good feeling I had about them in my soul yesterday was true and purposeful. Appreciate you and your connection to the earth.

I love dandelions!! The flower reminds me of the sun in the 70's, all warm and golden yellow🌞

I eat a dozen a day, picked at the base of the long stems. Love em. My flakey incipient cancer spots on my face are almost gone. Liver spots fading.

❤️🙏Thank you Adam!

My neighbors are never surprised to see me in their yard on their security camera stealing all of their dandelions! None of the mind, and all of them get loaves of homemade dandelion cornbread!!! My neighbor's absolutely know better than to kill any dandelions around me 💚🌿🍃💚

Hey Adam, we've been making dandelion jelly for the past few years and it's remarkable how much it tastes like local honey! I'm not sure if processing it kills the 'whatevers' to which you're referring but I can tell you, it sure beats spraying poisons!

I love the flowers (from the wild) most. In my experience in store bought tea, leaf vs. root - leaf was stronger and longer lasting as a diuretic. Flower is literally the tastiest!

You know your biochem and organic chem….I normally don’t think most people truly understand what they are talking about, but YOU are a different story! Go strong, my man! I will follow your YT site.

My yard is covered in them! I’ve always like dandelions and since I use no chemicals in my garden, I feel confident that mine are totally organic. I’m going to start tossing a few cleaned flowers into my green drink along with some of the leaves. I didn’t realize how potent they are. Thank you !🤗

I recently had a guy come to my door offering his services to kill all my weeds so i'd have a perfect green lawn. I looked at him and said"You want me to pay you to destroy my salad?!" When he realized I wasnt joking, he walked away laughing. Great video. I've been eating dandelions and a host of other"weeds" since I was a kid back in the'70s. I was introduced to this idea by a friend's mom who taught us about the"salad under our feet". One of my favorites is lambs quarters, otherwise known as "depression spinach" because during the great depression it became a substitute for spinach. It's delicious raw or steamed and it's packed with all kinds of goodness. You have a new sub. Keep up the good work!

Awesome information! I love spring since I make dandelion tea almost everyday for me and my grand kids. They love to pick the flowers for me as I walk my dog and we make honey sweetened tea. I tried dehydrating the flowers but they turned to puffs. I dehydrate the leaves and make a powder to sprinkle into stews, soups, over salad, etc. Even though it is bitter, when powdered and eaten, the nutrition and health related benefits and amazing. Here in Florida the leaves are tiny little things and so bitter. But I just saw a woman that made a chopped salad with other greens, walnuts, feta cheese, red onions, and it looked so very good. I don't understand why people began destroying them with such a vengeance. Happy little flowers that light up a spring yard, provide wishes for kids, and whose roots deliver much needed nutrition to the soil that actually helps the grass grow. What caused this weird behavior - I bet it was 'companies' that wanted to sell poison. Just seems so strange.
