If you clicked on this video hoping to watch me extract the nectar from dandelion flowers and perform an enzymatic reaction converting it into sugar (honey) im sorry to dissapoint. Rather, this "honey" is an imitation but in my opinion the best there is. It is a great option for vegans, those who cant afford honey or just to have fun. Thanks for all your views!

bet theyre perfect for pickling them like kapers too! oh and another topic somewhat haha: with dandelions battering them in cornstarch batter with a spoon full spelt flour and just enough water to get it somewhat liquid worked very well. naturally tastes like cornmais because of its high pollen content. the protein in the pollen splits under heat like it does in meatprotein and releases its cornflavour. very tasty very unexpected good alternative to a salad of those and looks just nice. wouldnt surprise me if battering and frying worked here too :DD i really please you to try this since i did im looking forwards for dandelions and false dandelions being in season like any other herb or vegetable since its quite filling :) btw since the batter is flavourless you can eat thefirst half salted or powdered in some spicemix and the rest with powdered sugar, maple sirup or whatever i always like stuff like that :D oh and i bet a tempura batter would look even better especially if you could see the yellow through the dough :D

Yup. This happens whenever you eat a starch to which your body is not accustomed. Eat it a few times (perhaps when you have no social plans), and the gas will diminish over time. This is true of burdock, sunchokes, beans and most other starches.

It’s not vegan because vegans avoid causing harm to animals as much as practicable, bees are animals, some bees are killed during honey harvesting and some cruel tactics are used in commercial bee keeping. Since you don’t need honey to live and can practicably avoid it, it’s not vegan

This recipe is a dandelion flavored sugar syrup. As far as I understand, excessive consumption of any form of sugar is unhealthy, even bee-made honey. Personally I'd consider this better than eating straight sugar but not better than abstaining from sugar, if that helps...

I have a few of these growing in the back of my in law’s property. I was planning to collect seeds once they’re ready/easy to pull out of the flower to make a tincture. Would the “hearts” be edible/good at this stage, or do the flowers need to be barely open? Maybe I’ll plant a perimeter of these around my chicken run once I build that so I have plenty of “artichoke” that also serves as a barrier between predators and my hens…

The ones in this video were past their prime. If you were to harvest them for the mini artichoke then the best time is just before the flower bud opens.

All you really made was a simple syrup. Honey is an absolute misnomer here, as honey is made by bees, not with cane sugar. If it were truly vegan, they'd try to make it taste like meat. We are omnivorous, hence incisors and canines , not all molars.
