Food Guide

Dandelion Greens

Buying Tips

Dandelion greens can be found in the produce section of most health food stores, specialty markets, and some supermarkets. Look for crisp, bright leaves, avoiding those with yellowing, browning or wilted tips.

Varieties

Dandelion greens vary somewhat in color and size.

Preparation, Uses, & Tips

Wash leaves just before using, and remove the ends. Add raw dandelion greens to salads, or cook them like spinach.

Storing

Store them in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to three days. If picked in the wild, look for tender, early-season leaves.
