Dandelion \u00a0grows in nature like weeds in everywhere from Asia, Europe, and America. You can find dandelion tea and supplements in many supermarkets as a dietary supplement. People use dandelions as a diuretic supplement, foods, and tonic drinks. Recent studies pay more attention to dandelion\u2019s antioxidant activity. and its possible effects on obesity. cancer, and some cardiovascular risks. In many Vivo and Vitro research dandelion\u2019s extracts have possible effects on obesity. Dandelion also supports the immune system, inflammation, and support cancer treatment. \u00a0Dandelion makes me surprised with tons of health benefits and potential.

One gram of dandelion leaves contains 29.68 mg of potassium. When you infuse dandelion leaf, potassium accounts for 67% of dandelion\u2019s solubility.

The sesquiterpene lactones bring the bitter test. This compound contributes dandelion\u2019s anti-inflammatory and anticancer effect. The dandelion leaves have a higher amount of sesquiterpene lactones than the root. \u00a0In the spring, dandelion roots have higher sesquiterpene lactones than other time.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0d0d0d; font-family: georgia; font-size: 18.66px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;\">Leaf and flower:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 2.145; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'georgia' , 'times new roman' , serif;\"><b style=\"font-weight: normal;\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: 'georgia'; font-size: 18.66px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;\">&#8211; Main phenolic compounds in the leaves and the flowers are derivatives of hydroxycinnamic acid.

We can steam the young leaves like spinach or just use it as fresh herbs. The young dandelion fresh leaves and flower are good in salads. Dandelion goes along with nutmeg, garlic, onion or lemon peel. My favorite side dish from dandelion is boiling young flowers for 1 or 2 minutes. Then I put flowers into olive oil with some fresh garlic for 24 hours or more.
