Have you ever thought about what you might eat should you run out of food or find yourself in an emergency? I have and I believe that arming your self with knowledge takes the fear out of many situations. I like to be prepared for whatever might come my way. I don't see good things ahead for our country, I'm sad to say. So I'm starting this series on wild edibles so maybe it will help me/us be a little more prepare, just in case.
I am always surprised to find that many of the things we see everyday are things the Indian's ate for their meals. One of those was dandelions. I do remember hearing that they were edible but I never researched it. Boy, talk about lots of free food! We have plenty of them around here!
"Dandelions are great sources of Beta-carotene and vitamin A and are high in fiber, potassium, iorn, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and the B vitamins, thiamine and riboflavin and are even filled with protein." (majorpreppers.com) Wow, amazing huh?!
