The Dandelion plant which grows in your yard is different than the one which is grown commercially for the leafy dandelion greens you can purchase in a grocery store. Dandelion has been cultivated over time to produce plants that put more energy into leaf growth and that have tastier, less bitter leaves. However, the plants growing in your yard are still edible and will provide you with more root growth and better flower production so you can fully utilize all parts of the plant. If using plants already growing in your yard, you can remove the flowers throughout the growing season. This will encourage the plant to continue to put energy into root and leaf growth(copy)~
