Weed of the Week: Dandelion

🌿 It's Weeeeeeeeed of the Weeeeeek! 🏵️
This week its the humble dandelion, or Taraxacum officinale. The whole plant is edible from flowers to roots. Add tender leaves to salads, roast and grind the roots for a caffeine free coffee substitute, or boil them with burdock for an old British favourite. Check out Hackney Herbal’s instagram for dandelion flower fritters! Dandelions have a whole load of medicinal properties too, acting on kidney, liver and digestive health. 🌿
