Dandelion Seeds
“Taraxacum officinale”
Open Heirloom & Grown in Perth, Western Australia
Harvested & Packed by Made For The Earth
Benefits
Dandelion has a long history of culinary use, although the leaves have a bitter taste. Fresh young leaves are less bitter and may be used in salads. Young leaves also make nice sandwiches when combined with fresh bread and butter. Alternatively, dandelion leaves may be used as a vegetable, like spinach, by adding them to cooked dishes and lightly seasoning. The roasted roots of the plant are used to make a ground ‘coffee’, which is said to be almost indistinguishable from real coffee. Dandelion coffee is completely natural and has a general stimulant effect on the body, specifically the liver and kidneys.
Growing Conditions
Season: Spring and summer
Germination: 7-21 days @ 10-20°C Hardiness
Plant Spacing: 30cm Plant Height: 50cm
