DANDELION FLOWER JUICE - 115x Better Than the Roots & Leaves

Believe it or not, dandelion flower juice is healthier than the dandelion leaves and roots! I share with you the health benefits of dandelion flowers and show you how to make dandelion flower juice.
COMMON QUESTIONS:
1. If I want to freeze it, should I freeze the flower or the juice?
* Freeze the juice. If you freeze the flower it will be yucky mush when defrosted.
2. If I don't have a juicer is there an alternative?
* The next best thing would be to make a dandelion flower tea by steeping the flowers in hot water for 15-30 minutes, depending on how strong you want the tea. Sweeten the tea with you're favorite sweetener or combine with other teas. * You can also eat the flowers. Wash them, then add a couple to a smoothie or salad. Not sure you'll like what they taste like? Try one and find out!
3. Can I dehydrate them and use for tea later? Yes.
ALLERGIES: People with certain allergies could have an adverse reaction to dandelion. I do not know which specific allergies you have & if they contradict dandelion (I am not a medical professional) so please don't ask. Instead, DO YOUR RESEARCH or consult a healthcare practitioner before consuming dandelion. Thank you & be well!

When I raised goats, they used to run through the meadows in the spring and eat the flowers of all the dandelions. They would eat the plants, too, but not until after they had consumed all the flowers.

For a less bitter and sweeter taste, it helps to remove all the stem part and only use the flower petals, like for jams and baked goods. I also prefer only the petals in salads and smoothies as the bitternes is too much for my sensitive pallet.

O' Dandy Lion so boldly yellow. Sitting on my lawn, such a fine fellow! You are the first sign of Spring whose early scouts make me sing. Soon the whole mob will encamp upon the green grass so damp. Spread afar Like Abraham's children. Boundless stars, over hills they will run. With your gold we are rich, treasure in a field niche. Tis slander to call thee a weed. Thou art a fair flower indeed! I would no more yield to mow you over than a lucky field of four leaf clover. Shine on little sun. With you life seems fun. Soon parachutes will fan, alight over the land. You'll be left bare and bony after your babies take flight. I'll recall grey times, lonely until you made the days bright! -by GEORGE WOOLEY

I'm intrigued! I make it a point to eat wild greens where I find them, and eat dandelion flowers occasionally but never thought to juice them. Currently on a juice cleanse, and the weather's warming up so there should be some dandelions around, so I'm going to juice some. Bought the Nama J2 juicer a few months ago, so this is perfect timing. Thanks.

Well I will simply have to try some tea. Don't have a juicer of any kind, only a blender, but tea sounds easy enough. Now.... my very favorite thing, probably not quite as healthy but VERY good, is dandelion WINE. I just finally got enough this morning to start two big jugs of the stuff. It's one of my favorites.

Hi, I enjoyed this 2 part video, and as someone else stated, your voice is very soothing. I appreciate that you don't have music in the background competing with your voice! That is so distracting to me! I wonder if you've ever frozen the flowers to enjoy in the off season? I'm thinking maybe pick, wash, dry, and put them in a bag in the freezer? I was so inspired today, that I went out and picked some flowers and leaves. I washed everything, and put them in my salad spinner, then into a big mesh bag, and hung the bag on the closeline since it's a windy day. Looking forward to making some tea, and cooking the greens. I'll put some in a blender drink in my nutra bullet as well. Thank you for sharing what you know! I subscribed! 🌹

[@CleanFoodLiving]

If frozen, i'm afraid you'll have a mush mesh after defrosting them. You could juice them first, then freeze the juice. Or dehydrate them for long term storage in a jar... make tea anytime, any season that way..
