    I had dandelion coffee a few times, and it was yummy. Good to know that we can eat the leaves too.

    I had it in the UK, from a health food store. It should be available in the US and Canada and other countries too.

    You can make salad from them, cook them, make wine. Plus I think they were originally introduced to the US as a decorative flower and only later became considered a weed because of the US obsession with lawns. And groundhogs love them as a delicacy.

    It's partially true - but Some people learn that most of the commercial food is not really Food.

    Yes, they have a bitter taste. Probably why most people don't eat them. The taste just doesn't excite most people.

    Oh, No! They can make a superb salad if you add lemon juice, see salt and, if you wish, apple, and your favorite oil. French love dandelions with vinegar. Dandelions are hellishly Costly in supermarkets. :) What so ridiculous is that people spray them around the house, but go to a store to pay a lot of money for them.

    Are we talking about the same flower. The bright yellow ones that turn into balls of fluff when they go to seed. I've tried them and they taste disgusting. Never seen them in a shop though.
