Organic Dandelion Leaf - The Light Cellar

Taraxacum officinale

Story:

Dandelion is a sunny, subtle, yet incredible plant that has been used for thousands of years in Traditional Chinese Medicine and is mentioned in traditional Arabian medicine in the tenth century. It has been used for centuries in traditional medicine practices all over the world as a restorative tonic, edible food, and in herbal beers and wines. 

Dandelion leaves can be eaten fresh in spring, and the long taproot is dug for its beneficial properties in the fall. Our organic dandelion leaf makes an excellent addition to herbal tea blends. Leaves can also be brewed as dandelion leaf tea, tinctured as dandelion extract, or added to soups.

Tea decoction: Add 1/2-1 tsp to 1 cup boiling water. Boil 5-10 min. Strain. Can also be ground to a powder, or simply eat the roasted root pieces right out of the bag, it makes an incredible snack.
