    1. Thanks Dawn, that is the wonderful thing about Dandelion, you can use the whole thing, the flowers, the roots and the leaves. The leaves are loaded with great vitamins. The only one problem is finding an area where the dandelion's have not be sprayed with pesticide and do not collect air pollution from the car's and such.
