“Divine Providence has spread her table everywhere, not with a juiceless green carpet, but with succulent herbage and nourishing grass, upon which most beasts feed.” —Thomas More
Bitter greens are our best buddies in spring! The nature of bitter substances serves to oxygenate and cleanse the blood and alkalize the body. This is exactly what we want in spring!
Dandelion is high on the list of bitter greens that cool and clear out the liver and gallbladder. In addition, those who have diabetes can avail themselves of dandelion’s benefits to regulate blood sugar levels. Also, If you are bloated in spring, dandelion works as a diuretic to mitigate water retention and reduce blood pressure.
What about those of us who don’t favor bitter tastes? This recipe will encourage you to dabble more in dandelion and take full advantage of its benefits. Discover dandelion’s delightfulness with this recipe. Hopefully, you are fortunate enough to have dandelion growing right in your yard!
