FRIED DANDELIONS Recipe -- Free Eats

[@CupidsGrimReapR]

Last i checked, i'm allergic to dandelion pollen. Maybe i should eat some to assert dominance.

[@shannonallison3053]

If you are allergic to things you can actually slowly introduce them over a long period of time and sometimes people will no longer be allergic . My sister in law had to do that with my twin nephews because they were allergic to eggs. Now if you have a very serious allergy to this or anything else I would not try this. Just something to think about if you like.

[@batsbabeyyy608]

Shannon Allison this is generally really bad advice. Usually pollen allergies are mild, so this might be an exception, but with most allergies you can’t tell the severity of the allergy based on past reactions.

[@limalicious]

Depends on the allergy. I'm allergic to strawberries (sudden allergy in my teens??) and while I don't go stop breathing, I break out in hives and spike a fever. Every time I eat something contaminated even slightly, I have a worsening reaction (it feels like a niacin reaction but from HELL). If your allergy gets significantly worse instead of improving, stop.

Cassie Chew - Nothing weird about eating fried Dandelion flowers it is one of those things either people pick them and fry them or people don't but the people that don't usually only like food that they buy at McDonalds, KFC or Taco Bell. Have a beautiful day and go pick yourself some Dandelions flowers and fry them (PS I like a thin simple batter (A/P Flour, Fine Corn Meal or corn Flour, Salt, Black Pepper, a little Baking Powder, ice cold Seltzer water or Club soda, and peanut oil to shallow fry them in. (the ratio of flour to corn meal(flour) is 2-1 and for ever cup of flour add 1&1/2 teaspoons of Baking Powder and 1/2 teaspoons to 3/4 teaspoons of salt and 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoons of Black Pepper. The amount of Ice Cold Seltzer Water or Club Soda I do by eye but I want a batter that thinner than pancake batter think tempura batter and fry them until crispy in about 1/2 to 5/8 inch of peanut oil or shortening that is shimming but not smoking hot

I sat in the front yard with my stepmother harvesting dandelion greens and had them that night for dinner. My mother used to drink dandelion root tea.

[@tyghe_bright]

Dandelion flowers aren't as "floral" tasting as many other flowers. I've sprinkled them raw into salads. Nasturtiums have a sharp peppery kick. Bee balm is really interesting... kind of sweet/spicy. Pansies just taste kind of "green", but are very pretty. Sorrel blossom is acidic. And if you get into flowers like hibiscus and squash blossoms, which have more uses, you could do a whole flower series!

[@SobrietyandSolace]

When you say sorrel, do you mean the real sorrel or hibiscus? They're funny, the fruit forming from the calyx instead of the ovary of the flower. I have some leftover hibiscus/sorrel drink in the fridge I'm going to reduce down to use as flavouring for candy. You can also put the pulp in fruit cake when you're done making your tea/juice if you got the fresh stuff.

[@barbaraanderson4136]

I love the squash flowers, such good flavor. Side note cucumber flowers taste like cucumbers.

[@awra.0]

I live in the carribean and we have hibiscus bushes growing everywhere mostly the red and pink ones I never actually knew you could make food items with them I've only ever used them as references for painting or for crafts in elementary schools

She could also use the leaves of Wood Sorrel. I used to eat them from my garden when i was younger, they have a slighty sweet acidic taste almost identical to apple peel.

What a lovely surprise to hear that you are an apiarist! We have an apiary very near the home I am moving to shortly, and I am hoping to see many of their bees paying visits to my flowers and veggies! I keep a bee watering station all summer to help the bees. It is so simple to do too. I simply take an old worn glass pie plate, place a layer of the flattened glass beads you can find at any craft store, and arrange them in a single layer on the bottom of the pie plate. Then I just pour filtered or natural spring water over the beads so the topmost surface is still above water. Bees land on the beads and drink from the water. We should all be doing everything possible to support our little buddies. I keep mine right outside my living room window and really enjoy watching the bees come to the water station!

Somebody from Rhode Island! I grew up in RI from my birth in 1990 until I moved in 2011. I fly up there at least once a year to visit family, and I miss Wright's Dairy Farm SO much. Their Boston Cream Trifle Bowl, their amazing chocolate milk (to which major store ones canNOT compare), their desserts... Nice to see a great KZbin from my homestate doing unsponsored promos of New England food!

Opening frame thought: these flowers grow wild on grass areas all over the place, over here in Ireland!! ☺💚👍🙆🌱🍴🌻🌻🌻

[@jeanproctor3663]

Same here where I live in England David. We have them in both our front and back garden. :)

[@kategodfrey910]

Thats how they grow in the US too!!

[@TheFighterfemme]

Yes, they grow like that almost everywhere, but they got take to the Americas as a source of food initially (because it was an easy to grow green) then it kinda became a pest and now most consider it a weed.

[@tylertrigger9433]

Same here aswell I’m from the uk but hate these things they come in both my front and back garden but they grow back to fast 😂😂so constantly grass cutting them to remove them

[@InAweOfAnimals]

I tried these last night. They were delicious! Tasted like a fried clam but without the chewiness. One word of advice...I picked my flowers at about 4pm but didn't fry them up until 8pm. The flowers had all closed up! So they didn't look as pretty as yours but still tasted great!

Have you heard of fried maple leaves? They’re DELICIOUS

[@theloudhouse122]

Do they taste like maple?

[@elyzevaelathal]

WOT I’m canadian and have never heard of that

[@rachelg9873]

...... well gunna have to Google this.

[@limalicious]

@@elyzevaelathal Apparently they're Japanese. Makes sense, the Japanese Maple is very distinctive and beautiful.

[@g.p4737]

brianna and braelynn Well, the leaf itself is flavourless. But sugar is added to make it sweet.

[@danielpedigo72]

I have just watched 3 of your videos in a row (loofah, bottle gourd, grilling sunflower head) and I'm loving your videos. I am really intrigued by the sunflower head and want to try that so bad.

The Dandelions have found their queen. Thanks for this! I've had frittered locust tree blossoms (delicious) and milkweed-nectar syrup but this is its own amazing.

[@skylarriggs9205]

I love Emmy’s dandelion recipes!

[@Photon210]

Nothing like an Emmy video to make me want to make and eat these underrated creations.

[@gregmuon]

You probably already know this, but many native american tribes considered dandelions a blessing. At the same time bees were derisively called to as "white man's flies". I've been eating dandelion greens my whole life, but never thought to eat the flowers. Thanks for this!

[@ajrwilde14]

this seems unlikely since dandelions are not native to the Americas and were introduced by European settlers

[@Alina-ws6ob]

It’s amazing that so many flowers are edible. For example, zucchini flowers rose petals, yucca flowers, hibiscus, elderberry flowers, and bugambilias.

My dad told me he would eat these with molasses back in the 30's and 40's

[@OswaldDigestiveClinic]

Interesting!! Raw with molasses?

[@ericking7406]

Try this with elder flowers, very nice!

[@DMP64]

Only emmy can make a meal out of deep fried flowers for free and actually make me want to try them

[@lblake5653]

You never cease to amaze me! I really love to watch you because you teach and enjoy it.

[@arlinevaca8081]

Dandelion in Spanish is “diente de León” however if you were to translate each word by itself you would get “tooth of lion” which I think is beautiful

[@andreamoscoso4065]

I speak Spanish fluently but for the life of me I couldn't remember what it was called in Spanish. Thank you for teaching me Spanish.

[@TypMir]

Arline It’s the same in Norwegian!

[@Crystalline-Bismuth]

The English word is just a bastardized version of the French word haha so it’s pretty similar across languages

[@lechalk7523]

That’s so much more beautiful than the danish word for them which is “Mælkebøtter” - it translates to “Milk Buckets” in english.

[@rea6268]

In German as well "Löwenzahn". Although in Switzerland we call them "Söiblueme" or pig flower. Dunno how that happened 🐖

[@SuperKaancan]

I’m kinda obsessed with your recipes lately but it would be great if you showed us the preparation steps as well. Like how you pick, clean and cut the flowers, especially cleaning part. Cause you know there’s always very tiny bugs living inside of em and I wouldn’t wanna taste them haha

[@cfaz6763]

Emmy can you make fried green tomatoes? I would love to see that "free eats" episode!

[@clintblack5026]

Hello 👋 how are you doing today

[@nolapeaches1]

I just looked up the nutritional content of dandelions. From the root to the flower, dandelions are highly nutritious. Tons of cancer fighting antioxidants and a lot of vitamins and trace minerals.

[@tingting4980]

Thank you Emmy. You always give me something to give my twins for a daily project. We pick the dandelions today and we cook and ate them. Much love from the Ting Ting House^^

[@anonimai]

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS RECIPE FOR LITERAL DECADES!!! I'm sorry for the excessive caps but when I was in like, 1st grade, my teacher made this in a special occasion (I cant recall why) but I remember them being so good and me being so young I was in awe that you could eat flowers. Ever since then, I'll randomly recall this memory every now and then and I'll try to search up a recipe always to no avail... until now!

[@GilbyMinaj]

“They don’t taste like anything” “mhm, they’re delicious”

[@Juanmaligno]

That's because the one that wasn't fried in batter had more flavor while the batter one was lacking in flavor
