Wild Edibles - The Dandelion

Often thought of as weeds, the dandelion is an edible plant offering a lot of nutrients that are needed by our bodies.  The leafy greens of this often overlooked food are a great source of vitamins A, B and C.  They also contain Iron and potassium.  These greens can be eaten raw or cooked.  Next time you come across the infamous dandelion, pick a mess of them and try 'em in a salad!
