Dandelion Greens, Nutritional Powerhouse<\/h2>\n

Dandelion greens<\/a> are a nutritional powerhouse! They are packed with vitamins A and K as well as folate. One cup has almost 2 grams of fiber and protein. Better still, they are free and growing abundantly around you.<\/p>\n

If you choose to eat dandelion leaves<\/a>, pick only those that have \u00a0not been sprayed with herbicide. Choose the dandelion greens from plants growing in your garden and away from the roadside. \u00a0I once saw elderly women picking dandelions along the Belt Parkway in New York City – not an ideal place given the car exhaust and road salt that the dandelions came into contact with on a regular basis.<\/p>\n
