Here's how we collect, process, and cook with dandelion leaves, roots and flowers! In this video we'll show you how to identify dandelion, where to find it, when to find it, how to forage it sustainably and how to process it for cooking. Finally we'll show you two of our favorite ways to eat dandelion: pizza and dandelion tea/coffee!

My favorite lawn snacks when I was little were dandelion, clover and violets! Drove my mom crazy eating 'weeds' all the time!
I just learned that dandelions are edible last week! Apparently they were a staple in a lot of households during the Great Depression. Children would collect as many as they could on their way home from school for their moms to prepare.
It has GREAT HEALTH BENEFITS TOO!
You can also make wine out of them.
There are a lot of common "weeds" out there that are eatable. When I first started gardening, I found out a few of these pesky weeds were lambs-quarter (related to and looks like quinoa) and purslane.
Its why European colonists brought the plant over with them.
I really didnt expect all this when i clicked on the video. thanks for all the great tips and advice guys 💞
I’ve recently switched from 40 YEARS of gourmet coffee “addiction” to creating my OWN “gourmet coffee”. I’ve created my own brew balance of dandelion root, chicory root, (roasted of course!) , a bit of cocoa powder and wild Turkey tail mushrooms (which I can also forage for). YUM! And the roasted chicory root and dandelion root “coffee” are FANTASTIC just by themselves. Without the cocoa and mushroom powder. So if I ever don’t have availability (bc supply chain😢), I won’t be “suffering “ without. I personally at a splash of oat milk and a touch of brown sugar, and say “thank you nature”!
Thank you for that dandelion ice cream dessert. You two have such factual ecosystem relationships.
We made the ice cream based on your inspiration. My kids loved collecting the flowers and approved of the dessert!
I really love this channel. It’s one of the few safe spaces on social media from “unicorn” colored food and prank recipes. Thank you for the useful and thoughtful content. You two are the best
In England we have a drink called Dandelion & Burdock, which is made with Dandelion and Burdock (a type of thistle) roots. It's a sweet cabonated beverage not too disimilar to Root Beer.
This has been the most informative source I have run across. Very detailed. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. ❤
Just the kind of video I was looking for. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! 🙂
Amazing guide! I will dig up some dandelion roots tomorrow
That pizza looks so good! 😍😋
the flower buds can be pickled and are quite delicious (make sure to use TIGHT buds unless you really like vinegar) and in France Salade de pissenlit is actually quite known and usually is served with bacon bits and the fat that gets relased in frying those is serving warm as the "oil" for teh vinnegraitte you would serve the salad with. 10/10 would recommend. Also I really enjoy a pesto made from teh greens (am not a huge pesto fan usually but the flavor here is mild so that you really can load up on the green power)
So many things that I did not know about dandelions. I wasn’t a fan when I tried the the greens once, but will definitely need to try again 👍 Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
I didn't know about the roots. Me and my kids about to go shopping, outside 👍.
Dandelion is probable one of the best treats for your body, its health benefits are remarkable!
I think one of my favorite things about dandelion is the science around the roots. I'm not a fan of the culture that has developed around the "cleanse " concept, but for people who struggle with fatty liver disorder or damage from certain long-term medication is, it has been shown to be helpful in reversing some of the damage. It is advised, however, to avoid drinking too much when taking certain medications!
Again, not advocating for "cleanses" or any of that, but as someone with a very severe chronic disorder that has needed some heavy meds, dandelion root could potentially be so helpful.
There are also emerging studies involving blood glucose control in T2D.
I think it's mostly just fascinating to watch the growth of scientific love for a weed that was hated my whole childhood!
I love dandelions they are delicious, i pickle the flower buds for a caper replacement, we eat the greens cooked ( I collect, blanch and freeze for the winter as well) or in salad, I make jelly and honey from the flowers ,we love flower fritters, and of course dandelion root tea and " coffee " .
Okay I never would have every thought of dandelion pizza, I definitely want some
The leaves are a good substitute for any recipe with spinach. I put them in scrambled eggs
Just found this channel and instantly subscribed, I love to forage so this is very helpful :)
one of your best posts ever!
Thanks! Plenty more like this coming 🙂
When I was little my mother would make dandelion jam it is delicious 10/10 would recommend
Dandelion is not a pesky weed, on the contrary, its health benefits are remarkable! The entire plant is edible. The leaves, flowers, and stems make a great salad, but the best part are the roots, which you can make tea with or roast to drink as a substitute for coffee. I love dandelions!
Great brief deep dive on dandelions. I appreciate the content plus those close-ups on the actual plant parts as you are explaining. It helps us beginners/city people in learning more about plants. Thank u!
Yayy I love dandelion skin salve
I loved all of this! I can see how much work you put into it. thank you! I can't wait to make the pizza!
I am definitely going to try eating the leaves & rost up the roots, to make coffee, have you made dandelion honey 🍯 it tastes amazing 💛🐝
Wow! This was fun! Thank You!
Best pizza recipe!!!!!
I was born and raised in Pittsburgh.....I'm harvesting Lancaster Amish dandies now
Great video! I grew up on dandelion salad and have harvested roots for dandelion coffee. It is a fantastic 'weed' and I am so glad you have featured it.
thank you guys for dropping such a great video im definitely trying this. i really enjoy watching your videos
I love dandelion sprouts, just like other seeds but throw the seeds into the fridge for a week first.
Flowers- jelly/jam, wine, fresh in salads
Leaves- salads, cooked as greens
Roots- dried and ground for coffee/ beverages
And they have medicinal uses
I love your videos. I have learned so much! Btw... LOVE that dress you're wearing in this video. God bless you both.
Great video guys, I’ve been really enjoying your content lately. I live in Atlantic Canada where we are pretty rich with wild edibles, sadly I don’t really take advantage of them. Watching your videos is the motivational push to get out there and try it for myself
Woah the stove+broiler pizza trick turned out 👌 and the tea too, I wonder if dried flower tops make a good tea as well
Looks amazing 😊
Thank you!
Great video, friends! That pizza looked lovely!
Thank you!
I read a book once by Ray Bradbury called Dandelion wine and never knew you could make wine from them.
The seeds are also edible and nutritious! A little tedious to collect, but great addition into museli, grain bowls, bread loafs and more.
Your channel is really underrated . Hope u hype soon . I'm a big fan
Awesome video 👏🏻
I recommend adding a small amount of sugar to the yeast water dough recipe for flavor and the yeast.
my left ear enjoyed this
Thank you!
In my opinion, ZERO caffeine is a very good thing. 👍🏻 😃
Haha same 😅
I like some caffeine every now and then but I wouldn't see 0 caffeine as a negative at all, definitely has its place and I'd drink it mroe often than caffeinated drinks
I have ADHD and waiting for titration so I need caffeine to function 😢
True if you can get off of it once youve been addicted to Caffeine for years like me 😢😅
Love this channels already mode videos please
Great info and vid! microphone gain needs a bit of adjustment. Could probably be fixed in post too. Thanks for uploading
How can we find out if there is lead in them? I have so many dandys in my yard, but many, many years ago there were factories around my house, and I have no idea if the dirt is bad. My grandfather did plant gardens in his backyard, next door, and he always had beautiful gardens. Now that I think about it, though, there aren’t a lot of dandys growing there, even years after he gardened over there. I really want to pick some, next spring, but, now, I am worried about that. 🙁
My gosh qu’elle coincidence, my Dad has had that same painting.
You could take your cream and flower idea and make a dandelion bechamel for your pizzas instead of tomato sauce.
Lol, you could use the dandelion cream flr the dandelion coffee!
Does it give any energy or is it just about flavour when you use dandelion instead of caffeine ?
What area are y’all in?
I’m in Deep South and books you could point me to for foraging ?
My dandelions closed while rinsing them. Can they still be used? I was going to dehydrate them.
could you use sourdough starter instead of the yeast?
Hey guys, I live in shady side. I'm looking to get back into the agriculture business (used to work at an organic farm out in Greensburg). Is there any way I could get in touch with you guys
🙌🏾❤️🌱
Try to Make your pizza crust with plain whole milk Greek yogurt and flour salt and yeast . You can skip yeast if preferred. DELISHISNESS
My left ear enjoyed this episode...
Force Mono sound in your video editing program next time please
How many dandelions to eat daily for healthy living???
I thought arugula was the dandelion's leaves, not different plants. Thank you for your video
I can only imagine your child taking a bite of a Totinos Pizza Roll and saying "what the actual f_@&?"
They are obviously not hard to grow or thrive...why not start a Dandelion patch like one would with any other harvestable plant?
I’m starting my first garden and this was my first idea! Dandelions are extremely nutritious and not hard to grow. I want to make sure the ones I’m foraging are clean and not peed on either 🤣
There is no sound
Eat your weeds? You guys are funny. In Germany, we smoke them 🤔
😁
