Dandelions

So I was reading through the different things that when you first log onto your email account you see all these different stories and this sorta caught my eye :D


Improve Liver Functioning:

Dandelions may be blemishes on a perfectly manicured lawn, but they're making a comeback as an exotic super food in your salad, says Dr. Mao. "The dandelion is filled with nutrients and helps the liver function more efficiently, which means less toxins need to be eliminated through the skin," says Dr. Mao. All parts of the dandelion are edible. The leaves can be thrown uncooked into a salad or after five minutes of boiling, according to a Brandeis University edible plants field guide. You can also boil the roots for 20 to 30 minutes or roast and grind them into coffee. A word to the wise: Don't pick dandelions off your lawn to prevent consuming pesticides. Instead, plant them in a chemical-free garden or purchase from the grocery store.



This is weird but awesome... well I at least think so any way's ^ ^ but yeah wanted to share this and all. Comment what you think about this :D
