Health:
Emma likes it because the natural bitter flavour may help to stimulate digestion, and dandelion root may potentially support gut & liver function.
History:
However you feel about it we all have a personal relationship with the dandelion. For many a gardener, this is far from mutually beneficial where the venerable, perennial plant is regarded as a weed and regularly pulled up and discarded.
How many childhood memories are filled with dandelion clocks, and the image of their tiny parachutes flowing on an early summer breeze.
Dandelions may be no friend of the English horticulturist but in the US alone, dandelion leaves constitute $50 million dollar industry, their bitterness is revered as a salad herb in many countries, France and Holland among them if not the UK. But the British have never taken to bitterness in salads or in any food, Nicolas Culpepper pleaded with his readers to embrace the dandelion back in 1653, “You see the virtues this common herb hath… that foreign physicians are not so selfish as ours are, but communicative of plants to people”.
