I’ve commented this before on an Emmy video involving dandelions, but roasted dandelion root tea absolutely saved me during my second pregnancy! And I do not say that lightly. I developed some very severe conditions due to my liver failing to function normally. This was entirely caused by pregnancy. It manifested into an excruciating, burning, itchy rash covering my entire body due to bile build up in my liver and the toxins trying to make their way out of my skin. I am not exaggerating when I say I looked like I had the worst case of chicken pox imaginable. My skin was covered in red welts/hives and it hurt to even put clothes on. I was constantly tearing at my skin because of the intense itch, and I didn’t sleep at night. Some nights, I would sit in a cool bath for hours crying. This lasted for 23 weeks of my pregnancy. As you can imagine, I was desperate to get rid of it because I was so miserable. I was given steroids and many other treatments by my doctor, all of which failed. I researched day in and day out, and finally discovered that dandelion root tea has been used forever as a natural healer of the liver and a natural liver detox. It was worth a try. After 2 weeks of drinking it, the rash that covered 95% of my body was only covering about 50%, and my bloodwork was coming back more normal. After a month of drinking it twice a day, I was nearly completely cured up until I gave birth. I only wished I’d found out about it sooner. I have such a huge appreciation for dandelions now. They’re a gift to this earth.

I'm going to admit I didn't believe this would really taste like coffee. I made some last night and I am shocked how close it taste to coffee. Mine tasted like a slightly weaker version of the coffee I usually drink (Newman's medium roast). But that could be that I didn't steep enough of the dandelion root OR I didn't cook it in the oven long enough. It did have that chocolately smell when cooking but some videos said that you almost need to burn it. Also, many videos said that you needed to dry the dandelion root for 2 -3 hrs BEFORE cooking in the oven for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. I eliminated that lengthy step by putting the DR in the food processor and chopping it up tiny. No need to dry it out for hours before cooking it. Thumbs Up!

Usually it's hung dry in a old pillow case. Chop up to grind. Used with chicory to take some of the strong bitter taste that chicory give you. Love seeing these shows.

I have a friend in Scotland that sent me the recipe to make this and one of the things he said (after I'd already dug up roots from plants WITH flowers), that tastes even better when you harvest them from the plant with no flowers, or dead flowers. I'm going to try with mine from with flower plants first and will then try the other way. Fun video! Glad I found you in my search!

I think I may try this!! I harvest dandelion greens in my yard to feed to my guinea pigs, snails, lizards, tortoise and chinchilla and they LOVE the greens as well as the flowers!! It always makes me happy to see the bees in the yard too, I always leave most of the flowers for them

Dandelion roots are high in inulin, a resistant starch which lower blood glucose. You get more benefit, though, if you harvest the roots in the fall. The plant has been storing energy as inulin all summer long and is no longer putting energy into flowering.

I am 66 years old. I have eaten Daniel lime greens. All of my life. My mother and my aunt would swear by them they was good for arthritis among other things. I like them boiled and they get tangible then fry them and some fat back or bacon. They are truly delicious

This reminds me of Navajo Tea or green thread tea which is made from a similar plant. you should definitely try it if you can get your hands on it. It has a very earthy yet sweet flavor and taste so good. I live here in AZ so it's very common on the Native American Reservations

FYI when you boil the coffee it kills the medical side of this root. Keep it under 180 and let it steep for 1 minute . In other words bring the water up to but shy of boil set to the side let steep. ENJOY!! I have been drinking this for just over two week and my liver spots on my arm and hands are fading. Dandelion root detoxes the liver and kidney and it tastes Great!!

How cool is this world?!?!? The path of life is like a train, We scoop up and scoop up information as we go along,but for lack of room on said train somebody on the caboose is chunking it off as fast as we can scoop it up. I’m always thankful for the weirdos walking the tracks,picking up what is tossed off..... Not calling the chick in the video a “weirdo” ....please know what I mean!! She seams really really super cool!!! 😁 “Apologies I’m not so good with words” This is awesome. My grandma survived the depression,she had many wise words that I to this day try and live my life by I remember one being very simple: “When In doubt,DONT!” I unlike her so far never found religion,but am always pleased to see someone with the sand to explore things she probably did. (Cobwebs on bad cuts,raw eggs and oil of caster if you were a very slow child who drank some old perfume because it smelt good?!🤭🤢) (Guilty ! 🙄) Somebody needs to be collecting all of this data, If they don’t,it will all “Up and Take a powder” (That means go away,without a trace)

You can also add the flower petals to your salad. Soak the flowers to remove any dirt or bugs. Pinch the green cap off the bottom, sprinkle the petals on your salad. A warning! Pulling the roots will leave divot holes in your lawn! I pulled chicory up by the roots for several years and realized that "dips" were being left in the lawn. Now I wait for dry weather, push a hole next to the root, and pour boiling water down the hole. The thirsty root will eagerly take up the boiling water and cook itself.

Hard times. Yep we all have had those , some worse than others. But also my grandfather showed me years ago that back in the 1930's in Appalachian mts. Everybody was poor as you could get and supplies where few and far in between, well anyhow he told me they would take corn mill and put it in a iron skillet on the wood Cook stove and scorch the mill until it turned black. Then they would make coffee from that when times where really tough just to bring up moral ya know. Ya never know when times will get rough and I think we will have some very rough times in near future. With that being said most folk should be very thankful for what they have during good times and tough times. One thing tough times have showed me is I can always adapt and over come and will make it , also it makes you very thankful for good times and your supplies. I feel America is headed to a time we haven't seen in a while and good people come out of times of trial and the fire will mold those that are meant to shine. Good day to all and GOD bless those that can see and hear the times that are coming. Good vid👍
