Makes a decent tea. You can use the leaves and flowers in salads too.

Forget a single night - You'd have a very, very tough time eradicating all dandelions on the planet, even if you were given decades to do it.

I used to eat the stem of dandelions. It's been so long I can't remember. Was it four-leaf clovers? They tasted lemony. Does anyone else have experience?

Fun fact: dandelions are not native to North America. They were brought over by Europeans as a last, end-of-the line method to not starve.

Captain here: That 95 percent in two days line comes from a 2016 University of Windsor study in Oncotarget on colon cancer cells. Aqueous dandelion root extract triggered programmed cell death in more than 95 percent of those cultured cells within 48 hours, and oral doses slowed

Dandelions are edible, used in teas and have been medicine for thousands of years. It really is insulting to call it just a weed

It is true, although it has been studies for over a year already. However, it is said to work in lab tests, not in human treatments yet.
