Dandelion greens are technically a weed... but a very delicious weed! They have a bright and pleasantly bitter flavor like radicchio but with a texture more similar to arugula. Dandelion greens are rich in iron, calcium, antioxidants, and minerals. They are one of the healthiest greens and have been used as medicine around the world for centuries. The name "dandelion" comes from the french phrase “dent de lion,” or lion’s teeth, which refers to the coarsely toothed edges of the plant's leaves.
