Radix taraxaci The Taraxacum plant is a perennial herb with a rosette of leaves and occasional flowering stems. The name "Taraxacum" dates back around 1000 AD. Dandelions have over 500 common names and have been documented extensively. Fossil records suggest they originated in Eurasia around 30 million years ago, and historical accounts show that humans have used them as a food source and medicinal herb for centuries.

Dandelion leaves form a basal rosette around the taproot, typically growing to 5-15 cm long. They are simple, lobed, and lack stalks. The flowers are yellow or orange, forming small heads that grow singly on leafless stems, usually between 1-5 cm tall. Each stem bears one flower head, which is about 1-5 cm in diameter and composed entirely of ray florets. Breaking the leaves or stems releases a white, milky latex.

Dandelion leaves are one of the most nutrient-rich leafy greens available. The young spring leaves are particularly abundant with nutrients. In many European countries, it's a long-standing practice to harvest these early greens for their nutritional value and digestive benefits. Dandelions can be consumed in substantial quantities as both food and medicinal herb.

European settlers introduced dandelions to North America, as they couldn't part with their value as a food and medicinal resource. Dandelions remain highly regarded in many European countries, where the flowers are often used to make preserves and wine.

How to use:

Powdered Herb:

Powdered herbs can be used in a variety of ways.

You can add powdered herbs to various foods like smoothies, sauces, spreads, and baked goods. For children, mix the powder with honey or glycerin to create a paste. The thicker the paste, the more intense the herbal flavor will be. This method is also known as "Electuaries", where the sweetness of the honey or glycerin helps mask any bitter taste.

You can create your own encapsulated herbal powders by filling capsules at home, ensuring that they contain only pure herb and nothing else. They can also be taken with a liquid.

A poultice is created by mixing an herbal powder with a liquid, typically water, to form a paste that is applied directly to the skin, providing relief from various skin conditions.

Mix powdered herbs with water, fruit juice, or another liquid to create a concentrated herbal drink.
