Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) is a resilient perennial herb celebrated for both its sunny yellow flowers and its long tradition as a healing plant. Every part of the plant—roots, leaves, and flowers—has been valued for centuries. The young leaves bring a pleasantly bitter, mineral-rich flavour to salads and soups, the roots can be roasted as a caffeine-free coffee alternative, and the flowers are used in syrups, wines, and herbal remedies. Traditionally, dandelion has been used to support digestion, liver health, and detoxification.
