In some places, Dandelion is an edible plant, and good for salad. However, I really do not know whether Americans consume this plant or not now days.


In addition to source of nutrients, Dandelion contain antioxidants. The plant is used commonly as traditional medicines for:

- liver infections

- rheumatism

- constipation

Cat’s Ear Dandelion was well known by the first settlers in North America as a traditional (herbal) remedy to treat:

- a diuretic for kidney problems

- gallstones

- and treating urinary infection


Do you recognize this kind of flower in the nature?
