    About this ebook

    Plain and simple, to the point, helpful for meal planning, with lots of healthful suggestions. There are so many obvious reasons dandelions are so prevalent, available for our use in nature. They are not here just to tick us off, they're there for a reason. If the universe provides for the birds why would it not for us!
    I have compiled over 200 tasty recipes you can use in everyday life. Dandelions help increase metabolism, boost your immune system, offer body detoxification for overall health improvement. Dandelions are still free. You should go green, everybody else is. Environmentally this makes good sense. Grocery bills would be cheaper. You could clear your garden and yard, without chemicals and actually use them for something good. Don't forget they reseed. Fresh local, picked and cleaned, put in the crisper of your fridge. Ready to use in your favorite recipes, or mix in with your modern greens.In these recipes you will find a variety of vegetarian and meat alternative protein, and ways to use the whole plant.
    Dandelions suppress cravings, level blood sugar, ease starvation, increase libido, reverse aging by increasing nutrients.
    Dandelions assist with elimination, detoxification and its a natural diuretic.
    The stem of the dandelion is like celery, stringy, and it balls up like a pot scratcher and when it passes through the small intestine, it works to clean it.
    Dandelions aid in prevention and elimination of many ailments and diseases.
    health and wellness is a global issue. My grandfather used to say if you haven't got your health you don't have anything.

    Deborah Richmond

    My name is Deborah Richmond. I used to play with dandelions by gathering bouquets, decorating my sandbox cakes or put in my hair for decoration. as I grew up I went to girl guides, took piano and swimming lessons. I worked and volunteered for the community. My proffession is a Registered Practical Nurse. I got married, had two children, worked and studied several different things. We live on a small lake in eastern Ontario Canada. I'm a grandma now. At age 40 I quit smoking. I had a slip and fall going into work on a midnight shift, hurting my lower back, went off work to start physio. First day of physio, I came home to a furnace oil spill under the house. Two weeks later, I was in a car accident, rear ended and pushed into a car ahead of me. A few days later we were asked by our insurance company to move out because it wasn't fit to live there. we adapted and rebuilt our surroundings, moving home 5 months later. Cronic pain consumed my body. I tried to physically exercise, and find ways to help myself out of this mess, but I had become internally toxic. Fibromyalgia and Phorisis set in. I needed to study something new to do, away from nursing so I studied Natural Nutrition, aging body, aging mind and received a Doctorate of Natural Medicine. I began my journey eating dandelions, felt it my duty to let all know, I found it benefited me greatly. You could too.

      Dandelion Nutrition: Living Dande Matters

      One of our oldest known plants is the dandelion. Earliest finds of dandelions date back as far as thirty million years. Originally from Eurasia, settlers migrated to other continents and brought them along. Still highly regarded for use by many cultures, for all too many people the dandelion has become a pesky weed. A shame really, that this plant has become of such ill repute in the minds of so many.

      The dandelion is really a magnificent plant, medicinal healing herb, and a healthy source of edible food. Its Latin name, Taraxacum Official means the Official Remedy for Disorders. Its French name Dent-de-lion translates to lions tooth. This refers to its jagged, 3 to 10 green leaves. Its yellow rosette flowers are 1 to 2 inches in diameter, held up by a hollow stem. The edible flowers and green leaves are used in recipes, fresh or cooked, and also in wine. The white sap that oozes from the central taproot is said to eliminate warts when applied repeatedly to the affected areas. I was told that during World War II the sap was gathered to make latex rubber products such as rubber gloves.

      The root is the most potent medicinal part of the plant. The soil also benefits from this plant releasing nourishing nitrogen and minerals back into the ground. Dandelions are rich in vitamins and minerals (the essential building blocks of life) and benefit our organs and functions. The dandelion flower heads are the first to attract the bees and share their sweet nectar to be turned into honey. Then, once withered, the heads soon turn to seed carried by tiny parachute-like marvels. The wind carries them afar and helps them re-seed and spread. If eaten, the seeds are said to have antifungal properties.

      The raw green dandelion leaves contain only 45 kcal per 100 grams, 2.7 grams of vegetable protein, and 9.2 grams of carbohydrates. No wonder that this has been a desired ingredient in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cooking! The nutrients and minerals found in the dandelion show 0 cholesterol and, if eaten daily, provide much of our sustainable nutrition. A serving of dandelions provides 24% of our daily requirement of iron, 19% of calcium, 23% of vitamin E, 16% manganese, and a long list of B-vitamins. Its highest mineral concentration is in vitamin C at 42%, beta carotene at 54%, and vitamin A at 64%. Vitamin K comes in at a whopping 74%. Adding salt or cooking our dandelions, the mineral levels drop somewhat from the raw amounts mentioned above, but are still worthy of note and benefit to the digestion.

      Dandelions show analgesic (pain killing) properties, are anti-allergenic and anti-carcinogenic agents, have anti-fungal and anti-fibrotic properties. Dandelions are said to increase libido (sex drive), and lower blood sugar in diabetics. Dandelions are a digestive aid that stimulates the growth of enzymes and 14 strains of bifida bacteria. Then there are its therapeutic effects against the development of colitis, diarrhea, cancerous tumors, or kidney and bladder stones. Dandelions protect against chemically induced injury. In short, their high boost of minerals and vitamins simply makes the body just want to run better.

      The dandelion really is a spectacular plant with much hidden goodness. Eating dandelions for food is something the body understands. Dandelions make for easy food to provide. We need to eat like nature intended us to eat: gather and hunt. Dandelions are living plants. No need to poison them and along the way poison our property. It is easy to pull them up and eat them instead. Not to mention that the toxins will not stay in one spot and may well come back to haunt soil and water supply. Food bears a direct influence on our body’s ability to absorb and use minerals and nutrients.

      It feels good to detoxify the body’s system and prevent inflammation causing high tissue acidity, a condition that over half of the world’s population suffers from. An acidic pH level in our body opens the door to gastro-intestinal conditions relating to bloating, gas, diarrhea, constipation, metabolic diseases, diabetes, fibromyalgia, depression, confusion, anxiety, and cancer. Unwanted acidity also affects adrenal and hormone levels and maybe even auto-immune reactions. Dandelions offer beneficial antioxidant action and tissue regeneration by
