Sansom Wood. May 2020. As strong as the weakest link
Perhaps not one of your favourite weeds to see. In each metamorphic stage it's very photographic.
They are edible and nutritious. Every part of this common edible weed is tasty both raw and cooked. If raw dandelion leaves don't appeal to you, they can also be steamed or added to a stir-fry or soup, which can make them taste less bitter. The flowers are sweet and crunchy, and can be eaten raw, or breaded and fried, or even used to make dandelion syrup or wine. The root of the dandelion can be dried and roasted and used as a coffee substitute, or added to any recipe that calls for root vegetables.
