Lesson 10: Dandelion
In this lesson, I discuss the edible and medicinal uses of Dandelion... and why it is emblematic of all that is wrong in modern American culture!

Very interesting, cool video! How do you clean your dandelions when you pick them, because I always have tons of bugs on them when I get them, but but he time I wash them I used so much water that I don;t know how eco friendly or water savvy I’m being, or I destroyed the bud by being too harsh. Also, do you dry the dandelions before you use them for tea? Because I tried drying the leaves and leaving them normal and I think I like the dried more because its compacted in the tea container.

I have never really had many bugs on them.  I just dust them off with my hand. If making dandelion wine, I wash them just dunking in a basin. To dry, it is best to use a method that gives good air circulation, like a screen or tying in bunches and hanging.
 
I'm sure glad that he's gone. Now I can read this tiny ad in peace!
