Dandelion leaves have a robust, brilliant flavor that's creamy, salty, and sweet. They add zesty flavor to many foods and can replace your morning tea. Many people enjoy dandelion tea brewed from the leaves or flowers of the plant. If you prefer coffee, you can use roasted dandelion root to make a coffee replacement. Depending on how you consume dandelion leaves, you may want to limit your consumption to only a few grams a day. When eating fresh or dried leaves, experts recommend consuming no more than 10 grams per day. If you consume the root, stick to a limit of about 2-8 grams per day.
