Dandelion wine & the use of dandelions for medicinal use was taken to America from Britain. Quoted: " Dandelions (Taxacum officinale) are native to Eurasia, and it is generally believed that they were first brought to North America on the Mayflower for its medicinal uses. In Europe, China, India and Russia they were used to treat a plethora of skin, infection, liver and digestive problems". I enjoyed drinking dandelion & burdock growing up as a kid in England, a fizzy drink that i think tastes like a cola. Quote Wikipedia: "Dandelion and burdock is a beverage consumed in the British Isles since the Middle Ages. It was originally a type of light mead but over the years has evolved into the carbonated soft drink commercially available today."
I read about how the Japanese have a pink dandelion that grows native there. They use the flower the most as medicine and a whole meal. They either sautéed the dandelion heads, or made them into tempura. Then they used the roots for healing wounds and ridding infections by making a poultice or as a tea. The leaves were often wrapped around the head and made into tempura as well. Dandelions are awesome!! Yummy, beautiful, help bees, fix soil and are awesome for me! 🌼
Love your enthusiasm for the plant world take your shoes off go barefoot connect your field to the plant energy feel it thr your nerve endings in your feet sit with your assembly point to a tree (back)and feel nature connect thru the mycilym those who know know 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I'm 71 and NEW to your videos today & just amazed how GOOD you are! So I am NOW a loyal subscriber.When young was an Eagle Scout so learned to LIVE in the woods for survival. BUT you take that 1950's knowledge & skills to a whole new Scientific Level, WOW. You have a GREAT personality to do this and an awesome radiating warm loving smile, like an Angel. Don't ever stop as every human on this planet needs "all your knowledge right now" for what appears to lie ahead for this race? YOU are a beautiful Soul of goodness vs all the evil today. God blesses you and those who believe in and learn from you, as I could feel that in me! NEVER STOP!
I feel that God brought me to your video yesterday while I was out fishing... I could not stop looking at Dandelions along the river when I was finished praying out there. I started researching Dandelions as I was oddly fascinated by them all of a sudden. The research lead me to your video and basically confirmed that every good feeling I had about them in my soul yesterday was true and purposeful. Appreciate you and your connection to the earth.
I know it may sound strange, but I know I can possibly be the only one who gets such an incredible amount of comfort and a feeling of peace just knowing that people such as this fine young man are alive and sharing their magnificent talents and information with us. It kind of restores my face in mankind and my countrymen. May he live a long healthy and joyful life!
Dandelions are nature's way to improve your soil, typically they will show up on poor soil, heavy clay, etc. I love them, the spring leaves are great in a salad, the roots dry roasted make a nice coffee substitute, and the flower, other than being so pretty, is nice to add to liquid honey in your jar (break up flower down to loose petals, make sure petals are dry), it is so lovely and adds an additional nutrient boost to your food. Of course, last but not least, they are an early source of food for the bees. Our creator gave us everything we need to not only survive but also thrive. P.S. Please make sure to not use any dandelions that might have been sprayed with chemicals of any kind, both directly and indirectly. I gather them in early spring before we use our lawn mower to cut the grass for the first time.
they also show up in compacted soil that's why the roots grow like they do to try and loosen it up.... reason why I always see them growing in between cracks in the pavement/concrete. The only place I remove dandelions from is the garden. I can pick from the plants on the yard lol
My favorite flower in looks and favorite plant for so many reasons. I grown them just for the leaf salad. It's delicious. I no longer pull up the doors as I don't enjoy the coffee substitute. Or coffee. But as children, my family would pick the flowers and leaves for dinner. The leaves in a salad and the flower heads are made into wine and the leftover flowered were dredged in flour or a batter and deep fried. As of this video, my garden has exploded with dandelions so tomorrow I'll pick a gallon of flowers and dredge then in corn starch and fry some, then break some up in my eggs. I'll just try new ideas until I find my favorites. Thanks for the great video
Thanks, I’m an old man now, but I recall my grandfather making dandelion wine when I was in primary school, many, many years later when he passed away, my siblings and I met at his house, I recall we were chatting about our childhood memories and the dandelion wine topic came up, I went to the cellar and retrieved a bottle of dandelion wine and brought it up to the parlor and we all shared a cordial glass, I toasted Dzidzau with a second shot and it was a fitting salute to the life of a remarkable man. Thank you for rekindling this wonderful memory.
My neighbors are never surprised to see me in their yard on their security camera stealing all of their dandelions! None of the mind, and all of them get loaves of homemade dandelion cornbread!!! My neighbor's absolutely know better than to kill any dandelions around me 💚🌿🍃💚
We are getting bees this spring, and have apple trees, flowers, will be planting lavender, and have many Dandelions! We never pick all, I'm happy to say.
Exactly my neighbor when I live in a city would bitch about my dandy lions and I'd say you do realize bees need these right. Rabbits love them to idgaf if you dont like them
Live out in farmland, my buddy comes over looks at my yard, he's says" wow your whole front yard is nothing but dandelions there's hardly any grass" I said" well you can't really eat grass".
Dandy honey, i typically make 5 batches of 3 litre mason jars. Typically 700-900 flowers per batch depending on the strength or deep colour i am seeking. Throw in a palmful of the yellow part in my homemade bread. The best time is during the first bloom in April, May when most municipalities ban pesticide use to assist the insects in getting a full belly after a long winter. I pick thousands and freeze the flower for later use.
Been a year now since you first let me know about the dandelion root. Been drinking the coffee from it for a year now. My arthritus isn't gone but it doesn't hurt anymore. I can move my fingers without it hurting, thank you my friend for giving me the knowledge
Terrific, informative, presentation. Thank you very much! I've been feeding the flowers to my Cockatoo. He bows his head to thank me. Now I know why he's so healthy & never seems to age!! :D I'll be sure & feed myself some of those flowers too as I am in a diseased state, with arthritis, diabetes, high blood pressure & cholesterol & I'm told, chronic kidney disease. I have some lovely dandelion plants which I've been neglecting to use, but will now.
I have neuro and bone degeneration, this is fabulous to hear. I find the leaves hard to tolerate. I have a gazillion dandelions on the property. Going to put flowers in my salad from now on. Thank you!
MY GRANDMA FAVORITE, SHE MADE THE BEST WINE, GREENS WITH DANDELIONS, WOW, SHE LIVED TO 105 YEARS OLD, SHE STILL WORE HEELS IN HER LATE 80-90'S. THANK YOU FOR SHARING, MANY PRAYERS/BLESSINGS!
everything from the dandelion is used, i.e. flowers, leaves and roots, like this: the flowers for a liver tea, liver relaxant, or in the form of syrup, the leaves for salad (the commercial name is arugula, for those obtained in greenhouses) and the root for salads , decoctions or teas. Very versatile!
Exactly why do you feel your granny wearing heels in her dotage was a good thing? Heels shorten the Achilles’ tendon, making normal posture and movement impossible, altering the correct position of internal organs and causing lasting muscle and spine problems.
A protective steward of nature, and a point of light for our humanity and mother earth, while we are in a time of serious conflict in our world… Thank you for your learned work with our nature, that you share with us.
Hi, I am a gardener. I think these videos are so intelligent and interesting. At college we had to learn about invasive weeds. What a ridiculous term for some of our most precious plants. Fortunately I had two very responsible tutors who really taught us holistic gardening. Every plant is a gift. These videos help to lift the veil of ignorance. This is knowledge which we are in danger of losing. Thanks again. Great and important work.
Invasives push out native plants. They're not termed "invasive" by the EPA unless they do more damage than good. They don't interact with the rest of the local ecology (or at least much less than native plants). Invasives can play a major role in making other species go extinct.
When I was a child, in center France, wild dandelion greens were a highly prized appetizer salad. It was prepared with garlic, shallot, oil and vinegar. With croutons, and an omelet, a perfect quick prepared dish for springtime!
Wish I could eat the flower,am deathly allergic to pollen.. anaphylactic shock is terribly frightening ..been there, done that got to the hospital on time....
@@lanaecall921 All these new allergies did not exist in the 1980, 1990's. I appeared with the rise of Monsanto for making these chemicals herbicides, insectisides to kill insects and plants that are messing up our bodies as well.
An extremely intelligent, very articulate and knowledgeable person We are fortunate to host his videos! 🙏. And, yes, I love the yellow petals- they are very slightly sweet!
Im glad your here... and now. Thanks for your many hours of research and caring, that's hard to find in this pharmaceutical based world we find ourselves in, and fighting the BS lies that that hurt us. Thank you.
When I was young, I sprayed dandelions too. I thought they were annoying weeds. It was a shame, but I didn't know any better. Now I look forward to spring dandelions... Live and learn.
The medicinal parts of the dandelion flower are very rarely mentioned, so it was brilliant to have been so thoroughly informed on all the benefits, including the various chemicals and all the other properties which you mentioned. Really appreciated. Thank you.💖💖💖
Omgg....You are amazing...I have harvested with my Mom and family my whole life...I also studied Medicinal Herbalism for almost three years and I still make medicines...However, I am memory challenged after heart surgery and that has destroyed my confidence as a career...I do things at my level with common words and in true hillbilly fashion...That is why you are so refreshing...Quick knowledge that is intense...Love that...Please keep that camera rolling...People like me need people like you...☆♡☆
I do think some of the memory comes back overtime continue to eat good organic foods and a lot of variety don't forget your trace minerals from my experience
I don't remember anyone from my childhood having cancer. I remember my grandmother talking about her relatives making dandelion wine. I actually have the recipe for it from 1864
This sounds very interesting and I wonder if u would consider sharing ur family dandelion wine recipe with me so that I can make it to try? If not I understand and thank u for ur comment that brought my awareness to a dandelion wine.😊❤
Yes very healthy. 50 years or so ago I made dandelion tea from the flowers and drank it each day they were blooming, then I switched to wild rose flowers tea and then clover. Natural wild flower teas, etc. are good for you. Google them.
I love this guy's videos and the intelligent and personable way he presents the information. Just this past week I gathered about 1/2 lb of early spring dandelion flowers and stuffed them into a bottle about 4/5 full of inexpensive (cheap) zinfandel wine. I did that last spring too, and the flowers added a slight bitterness to the beverage along with a delightful floral bouquet. I let it steep for about 2 weeks before consuming.
@@notmyworld44 Yep, yep! Digestive bitters. Stimulate bile flow & thus support gall bladder & liver function/health. I love me some bitters! ;) One of my favorite early-mid summer salads is tiny cubes/chunks of watermelon with a mix of bitter greens (arugula, dandelion greens, wild sorrel, lamb's quarters, etc--stuff I can just harvest in my yard, save the arugula...I cheat with that & buy it, haven't had great luck growing it here), toss with some thin sliced onion of your choice, walnut/pecan/pistachio (whatever suits your fancy), some real sheep's milk feta or goat cheese crumbles, maybe whatever berries are in season at the moment, and dress with extra virgin olive oil & some flax seed oil with lemon or a fine balsamic vinegar. YUM! :D I noted early to mid-summer because the later in the season, the more bitter the dande greens get and become fibrous and rather unpalatable. ;)
I feel this is one of the few good-hearted, wholesome channels for adults here. I always learn something about the earth and about the nourishing paths I may travel in the future.
My yard is covered in them! I’ve always like dandelions and since I use no chemicals in my garden, I feel confident that mine are totally organic. I’m going to start tossing a few cleaned flowers into my green drink along with some of the leaves. I didn’t realize how potent they are. Thank you !🤗
Between you and Dr Michael Greger I truly believe my life is sorted. Good vibes, great energies, and it all comes from the laaaaaaaaaaand and vegetables and mushrooms! You honestly have great energy that is great for communicating the way you do... Congratulations and thank you for your work.
Amazing young man, you're on the right track. Preventing is better than curing. I planted Dandelion years ago in my garden, and it multiplies on its own. It's just one little link in God's wonderful care for all His created beings, whom He loves so much.
Adam, Thank you for making this Dandelion Flower video! For most of my life I have been eating dandelion flowers. I especially like eating the flower buds, when I can get them, they have a purer flavor. The flavor of both flower and bud, reminds me of eating sunflower seeds. I like to keep dandelions growing in my garden, they grow bigger and better, when given a chance in good soil. I'm a long time follower of Euell Gibbons. My Grandmother loved his books and would share with me his teachings on foraging. I love the videos that you make, they are packed full of very useful information, and reinforce the things I learned from years ago.
Fantastic! Now how do you prepare or eat the dandelion flower? Do you eat them raw? Do you cook them? I vividly remember my Grandmother cooking dandelion greens; she usually put them in her soups or with ham and Cannelli Beans. Love your program.
Excellent video!!!!! Love, Love,Love your information on the health benefits of the dandelion flowers!!!!!! Refreshing,inspirational & just plain great information!!!!!!!& great presentation!!!! Thank You!!!💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
I'm so glad you mentioned the fact that many dandelions are sprayed with poisons. So, we must beware of that and probably not eat the ones that are in other people's yards. Thanks, Dr. H.!
I collect dandelion fluff with a butterfly net, I scoop it off the plant before they get a chance to blow off with the wind. Then I scatter it around the property.
Bro I just started looking up things about dandelions cause I’m going through health issues and for the last three months you have been the most informative and most detailed so far thank you I appreciate it because of you I’m gonna start eating them
Dandelions are golden like the sun…this alone tells me that they are good. I’ve been drinking dandelion tea for 30 years. I love it. Thanks for your video.
I'm an Herbalist and have used dandelion in my formulas for 40 years. Our European ancestors brought this terrific plant (herb) to America and the health benefits of this herb are too many to mention here! Good on you young man! Right on! This herb is one of the most important in the herbal Kingdom!
I stopped mowing in Spring years ago after spending a sunny day staring at dandelions. I originally only wanted to leave an early food source for bees. Well, several years later my early lawn is mostly dandelions. I adore them. Those beautiful, golden, intricately beautiful little heads turning their faces all day to follow the sun. Oh. They make my heart sing. I ended up purchasing a small flag that I placed at the end of my yard. It reads, Don't mind me. I'm feeding the bees. My dandelions have Never been sprayed nor will they ever be. Totally organic. Now after watching this video I'm going to start experimenting with adding them to our diet. Thank you for this great information!❤️🐝❤️
Indeed his is.. Saying the same the older knew from hundreds of generations. They ate the leaves from early dandelions as salad. People born in the 19hundreds said it was they were poor. Wrong ! They were rich in knowledge.
Awesome! Thanks for the info! I am aware of dandelion root as beneficial for the liver but this is new. I am now researching ALL parts of edible plants (all plants are edible some will kill you though!). Moringa is another great plant to look into...
I plan to start eating dandelions. I am a social worker and one of the most common things I see in older populations are diseases associated with cardiovascular heath. Anything we can do to improve this is a boon. Thank you Adam.
@@ruidadgmailcanada8508 no its not. It's linoleic acid. Basically seed oils. Except macadamia oil which is very low in LA. Vegetable oils are very bad for you also. These oils oxidize so quickly and are the worst for you (newer info in the last several years). As usual, this was discovered long ago but since our medical/health system is corrupted by $$$, the FDA is about as usedul as a blind guard dog who is easily distracted with treats. The biggest question is how to solve this issue. Not sure how to do that other than subsidizing industries that manufacture harmful food products which were once thought to be okay. E.g. you cant just make soybean production illegal (fermented is finne but the vast majority is not fermented). Entire farms have become dedicated to its production. So how do you make the shift without destroying an industry or part of it? The gov/the population should support farmers to change to healthier options or else an entire sector of the economy could collapse. The other option is what we have now which is a shitkoad of money soent by farmers who ban together and pay lobbyists to prevent legislation that is not favorible to their $$ interests and muddy the waters. Its better for all of us to go the other route. Sigh ......it will be the norm one day but society takes forever to mature. People don't like chage
I like to collect the flower buds of the dandelion. Sautéed in olive oil, with some garlic, salt and pepper, they have the texture of small artichoke hearts, and they taste so good.
I love /cherish dandelions!! I make dandilion honey with the flowers, salad with the leaves and plan to make coffee with the roots this year. I have never sprayed my yard and I encourage others to harvest these beautiful, perfect flowers!
Don't know how this one slipped by me!!! Thank you for letting others know about the powerful effects and uses for the flowers~ I'm so upset when I see lawn people come and poison lawns my lawn as well because I drink my dandelion flowers and have been for years. I figured if they can make wine out of them why couldn't I make tea? it's a delightful green taste.... My grandmother was born in 1900 in Italy. at 16 they removed one of her kidneys and they told her for her to be healthy she *needed to watch her diet* Back then in Italy, in 1916 they knew about the value of nutrition... She lived on dandelions an Italian bread & lived to be 86+ thanks Adam~ you are the best.... Move over PS~ Adam is teaching us more++++
This is a revelation to me. I have loved the root and leaf for so long but never considered the flower. Dandelion were scarce in my neighborhood but I have really cultivated them in my garden and in turn have shared them with the rest of my neighborhood. Any way the wind blows...
Dandelions are real food for regular people. The flowers are so easy to use and the greens, too. They are one of my top 5 favorite wild greens, just because they are so plentiful, good for so much of the year, and so good to eat. Enjoy those dandelions -- flowers and all!
Yes, the flowers are good pretty much right up till the snow flies. I e only eaten the leaves in the spring though, and I admit, I have no idea what to do with the roots.
It is important to note that the dandelion greens you buy in the store are not the real dandelions like in this video. Grocery dandelion greens are actually wild chicory (Cichorium intybus) which is a weed that has purple-blue flowers and grows on the side of the road. :D
Adam, further to the amazing info provided in your video, I read a friend explain how a flavonoid called LUTEOLIN may assist our immune systems directly with CORONAVIRUS. And it just so happens after some surfing around, I found a study that showed DANDELION FLOWER to be very high in luteolin. "There is a natural flavonoid called luteolin, which occurs in many common foods, and acts as an inhibitor to a substance called furin. Furin occurs naturally in our bodies, but activates the spike protein on the coronavirus, thereby allowing it to enter our cells. By increasing our intake of foods high in luteolin, it may offer us additional support to avoid infections and disease progression." ~James Spears, doctor of herbal medicine
@@shapiemau2244 of course there are viruses that are called coronaviruses. CV is a well-studied family of viruses of which there must be hundreds of strains at least, and half a dozen of these that are known to infect humans, those which are some of the viruses responsible for the common cold in the early winter and the flu in late winter. This was the case for countless years before 2019. As for what came out of the lab as a bioweapon, that was only part coronavirus. There are lots of therioes what makes up the other part but I won't bother to drop that here as I only know of the hearsay, though it sounds horrific.
@@krownstone you have not studied the subject thoroughly and thus have also been duped into believing their lie. You should look into this fallacy deeper. Regarding common colds etc, much the same thing and you show a very limited understanding of the biology of both man and the animal kingdom. Please study this in more detail.

Everyone in my neighborhood poison every square inch of their properties....not me!
Sorry to hear about that
Exactly why do you feel your granny wearing heels in her dotage was a good thing? Heels shorten the Achilles’ tendon, making normal posture and movement impossible, altering the correct position of internal organs and causing lasting muscle and spine problems.
you eat these plants, but your parents poison them ??? whats wrong with them
A protective steward of nature, and a point of light for our humanity and mother earth, while we are in a time of serious conflict in our world… Thank you for your learned work with our nature, that you share with us.
Makes great tea. My grandmother treated acne with pulped dandelion stalks - miraculous results. Superb, no - nonsense presentation. Great vid.
Hi, I am a gardener. I think these videos are so intelligent and interesting. At college we had to learn about invasive weeds. What a ridiculous term for some of our most precious plants. Fortunately I had two very responsible tutors who really taught us holistic gardening. Every plant is a gift. These videos help to lift the veil of ignorance. This is knowledge which we are in danger of losing. Thanks again. Great and important work.
I agree -;marywanna isn't just a weed
Invasives push out native plants. They're not termed "invasive" by the EPA unless they do more damage than good.
They don't interact with the rest of the local ecology (or at least much less than native plants). Invasives can play a major role in making other species go extinct.
@@veramae4098 I do appreciate your comment. Thank you for adding to the discussion.
Intelligence ....i.q. ....common sense and higher education doesn't mean you have high i.q. dumb and dumber...
I also totally appreciate all of this. thank you from the bottom of my heart, to the top.😅
Thank you for the interesting video! I'm eating Dandelion every day! LOVE IT!!!
As a physician I can tell you really do your homework. Great job. I love all your videos and share them with my kids too. Thanks for your hard work.
Thanks! I appreciate the kind words, and I'm glad to hear you enjoy the videos!

When I was a child, in center France, wild dandelion greens were a highly prized appetizer salad. It was prepared with garlic, shallot, oil and vinegar. With croutons, and an omelet, a perfect quick prepared dish for springtime!
This sounds delicious. I think I’ll try it today. 😁
My grandparents used to fry it with bacon, not really healthy, though. Thanks for helping me to remember that.
I plan to try this too! Yum-thanks
My Italian mother cherished dandelions as well as chicory.
oooooohhhhhhh!
Thank you so very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Blessings Adam!!!!!!!!!!!!
I eat a dozen a day, picked at the base of the long stems. Love em. My flakey incipient cancer spots on my face are almost gone. Liver spots fading.
You are an excelent professor. Thank you for teaching everyone to treasure what nature provides as medicine.
The young man is gifted but more importantly humble and honest i am hesitant to give compliments in fear of spoiling him.
Wish I could eat the flower,am deathly allergic to pollen.. anaphylactic shock is terribly frightening ..been there, done that got to the hospital on time....
@@lanaecall921 All these new allergies did not exist in the 1980, 1990's. I appeared with the rise of Monsanto for making these chemicals herbicides, insectisides to kill insects and plants that are messing up our bodies as well.
No way. I was just as happy when he started talking. 👌👌👌
I’m going to leave Dandelions “roaring in my lawn” so I can harvest them and put them into salad and tinctures.
You can even make dandelion honey
@@saraicg_9319
Now that sounds like something special.
We are getting ready to pick blossoms here today, if it doesn't rain, lol. Sunshine Jelly will be ready soon!
Dandelion tea and jam as well. Try them pan fried in egg and flour or cornmeal too.
@@everready19373 Never tried tea! thanks!
An extremely intelligent, very articulate and knowledgeable person
We are fortunate to host his videos!
🙏.
And, yes, I love the yellow petals- they are very slightly sweet!
I LOVE dandelions and eat them every day. I've taken the seeds from neighbors' yards and spread them all over my own.
Im glad your here... and now. Thanks for your many hours of research and caring, that's hard to find in this pharmaceutical based world we find ourselves in, and fighting the BS lies that that hurt us. Thank you.
When I was young, I sprayed dandelions too. I thought they were annoying weeds. It was a shame, but I didn't know any better. Now I look forward to spring dandelions... Live and learn.
Aloha
How *AWESOME* to accompany the entrance of brother thunder and sister lightning. Thank you for being!
The medicinal parts of the dandelion flower are very rarely mentioned, so it was brilliant to have been so thoroughly informed on all the benefits, including the various chemicals and all the other properties which you mentioned. Really appreciated. Thank you.💖💖💖
Omgg....You are amazing...I have harvested with my Mom and family my whole life...I also studied Medicinal Herbalism for almost three years and I still make medicines...However, I am memory challenged after heart surgery and that has destroyed my confidence as a career...I do things at my level with common words and in true hillbilly fashion...That is why you are so refreshing...Quick knowledge that is intense...Love that...Please keep that camera rolling...People like me need people like you...☆♡☆
What a sweet comment! I do hope you're doing well❤
Just wanted to say that I had lost a lot of memory from an operation I had 20 years ago
I do think some of the memory comes back overtime continue to eat good organic foods and a lot of variety don't forget your trace minerals from my experience
Sarcode remedies for the brain can reverse brain damage in my experience!
Just bought 8 oz. Of dandelion dried flowers, had tea with honey, went to sleep so quick.
Great taste, glad i found your channel
I don't remember anyone from my childhood having cancer. I remember my grandmother talking about her relatives making dandelion wine. I actually have the recipe for it from 1864
This sounds very interesting and I wonder if u would consider sharing ur family dandelion wine recipe with me so that I can make it to try? If not I understand and thank u for ur comment that brought my awareness to a dandelion wine.😊❤
Wow, that sounds incredible
My grandmother also made dandelion wine. The flowers had to be picked when dry usually around mid-day.
like in Bradburry’s book?;)
@@hannakravchenko7193 I don't know the book is it an old preserving book?
Love this video! The thunder at the end is the gods agreeing with your statement about not spraying herbicide!
The dandelion flower also has a high concentration of lecithin which is great for your heart.
I bet this guy is actually about 55 years old but because of all the dandelion and nettles he eats, he looks 18! LOL Love the videos!
He is 97 years of age dudes
🙂
@@jamessim1858 He is 98 now
Dude is actually 65 years old.
Met him in real time and he is such a nice person. Great to learn from him , he is so smart!
Thanks, again, for the wonderful plant knowledge you share!! You're a Godsend!! God bless you for sharing!!!💕💯
Excellent educational video. Dandelions were once grown as a food source here in the U.S.
Yes very healthy. 50 years or so ago I made dandelion tea from the flowers and drank it each day they were blooming, then I switched to wild rose flowers tea and then clover. Natural wild flower teas, etc. are good for you. Google them.
I love this guy's videos and the intelligent and personable way he presents the information. Just this past week I gathered about 1/2 lb of early spring dandelion flowers and stuffed them into a bottle about 4/5 full of inexpensive (cheap) zinfandel wine. I did that last spring too, and the flowers added a slight bitterness to the beverage along with a delightful floral bouquet. I let it steep for about 2 weeks before consuming.
If you remove the green parts of the flowers before steeping them, they will be a lot less bitter.
@@doloresreynolds8145 The chemicals that cause the bitterness are beneficial in small amounts.
@@notmyworld44 Yep, yep! Digestive bitters. Stimulate bile flow & thus support gall bladder & liver function/health. I love me some bitters! ;)
One of my favorite early-mid summer salads is tiny cubes/chunks of watermelon with a mix of bitter greens (arugula, dandelion greens, wild sorrel, lamb's quarters, etc--stuff I can just harvest in my yard, save the arugula...I cheat with that & buy it, haven't had great luck growing it here), toss with some thin sliced onion of your choice, walnut/pecan/pistachio (whatever suits your fancy), some real sheep's milk feta or goat cheese crumbles, maybe whatever berries are in season at the moment, and dress with extra virgin olive oil & some flax seed oil with lemon or a fine balsamic vinegar. YUM! :D I noted early to mid-summer because the later in the season, the more bitter the dande greens get and become fibrous and rather unpalatable. ;)
I love dandelion flowers and greens!
I feel this is one of the few good-hearted, wholesome channels for adults here. I always learn something about the earth and about the nourishing paths I may travel in the future.
My yard is covered in them! I’ve always like dandelions and since I use no chemicals in my garden, I feel confident that mine are totally organic. I’m going to start tossing a few cleaned flowers into my green drink along with some of the leaves. I didn’t realize how potent they are. Thank you !🤗
🏅🏅
Dandelion is amazing 💛💚
Between you and Dr Michael Greger I truly believe my life is sorted. Good vibes, great energies, and it all comes from the laaaaaaaaaaand and vegetables and mushrooms!
You honestly have great energy that is great for communicating the way you do...
Congratulations and thank you for your work.
Amazing young man, you're on the right track. Preventing is better than curing. I planted Dandelion years ago in my garden, and it multiplies on its own. It's just one little link in God's wonderful care for all His created beings, whom He loves so much.
Whooo I am going to try the flower 🌼 tea next week thank you for this video
Adam, Thank you for making this Dandelion Flower video! For most of my life I have been eating dandelion flowers. I especially like eating the flower buds, when I can get them, they have a purer flavor. The flavor of both flower and bud, reminds me of eating sunflower seeds. I like to keep dandelions growing in my garden, they grow bigger and better, when given a chance in good soil.
I'm a long time follower of Euell Gibbons. My Grandmother loved his books and would share with me his teachings on foraging. I love the videos that you make, they are packed full of very useful information, and reinforce the things I learned from years ago.
Fantastic! Now how do you prepare or eat the dandelion flower? Do you eat them raw? Do you cook them? I vividly remember my Grandmother cooking dandelion greens; she usually put them in her soups or with ham and Cannelli Beans. Love your program.
Excellent video!!!!!
Love, Love,Love your information on the health benefits of the dandelion flowers!!!!!!
Refreshing,inspirational & just plain great information!!!!!!!& great presentation!!!! Thank You!!!💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
I'm so glad you mentioned the fact that many dandelions are sprayed with poisons. So, we must beware of that and probably not eat the ones that are in other people's yards. Thanks, Dr. H.!
What a wonderful young man. I hope his parents are very proud.
❤️🙏Thank you Adam!
You are like an encyclopedia for the outdoors! I am blown away!
This is great news! Love your vids and mostly your enthusiasm! Thank you for being sooo interested in our natural world!!!
Thanks from South Africa.
I’ve been collecting dandelion fluff and releasing them in my yard. My goal is dandelion lawn. I LOVE them.
Haha! That’s awesome!
That would be beautiful in spring.
I lived in Hokkaido for 6 months. I still have a pic of my baby sitting on a lawn of dandelions. It's beautiful.
I collect dandelion fluff with a butterfly net, I scoop it off the plant before they get a chance to blow off with the wind. Then I scatter it around the property.
That’s my plan for this year.
Bro I just started looking up things about dandelions cause I’m going through health issues and for the last three months you have been the most informative and most detailed so far thank you I appreciate it because of you I’m gonna start eating them
Dandelions are golden like the sun…this alone tells me that they are good.
I’ve been drinking dandelion tea for 30 years.
I love it. Thanks for your video.
I'm an Herbalist and have used dandelion in my formulas for 40 years. Our European ancestors brought this terrific plant (herb) to America and the health benefits of this herb are too many to mention here! Good on you young man! Right on! This herb is one of the most important in the herbal Kingdom!
I stopped mowing in Spring years ago after spending a sunny day staring at dandelions. I originally only wanted to leave an early food source for bees.
Well, several years later my early lawn is mostly dandelions. I adore them. Those beautiful, golden, intricately beautiful little heads turning their faces all day to follow the sun. Oh. They make my heart sing. I ended up purchasing a small flag that I placed at the end of my yard. It reads, Don't mind me. I'm feeding the bees.
My dandelions have Never been sprayed nor will they ever be. Totally organic. Now after watching this video I'm going to start experimenting with adding them to our diet.
Thank you for this great information!❤️🐝❤️
we need more ppl like u on this earth!!!
You sir are the best of your generation a real gem
Indeed his is..
Saying the same the older knew from hundreds of generations.
They ate the leaves from early dandelions as salad.
People born in the 19hundreds said it was they were poor.
Wrong !
They were rich in knowledge.
Awesome! Thanks for the info! I am aware of dandelion root as beneficial for the liver but this is new. I am now researching ALL parts of edible plants (all plants are edible some will kill you though!). Moringa is another great plant to look into...
Gorgeous Easter Sunday today... I went out and lay on the grass in the sunny back yard... and nibbled dandelion flowers. They were surprisingly sweet!
I plan to start eating dandelions. I am a social worker and one of the most common things I see in older populations are diseases associated with cardiovascular heath. Anything we can do to improve this is a boon. Thank you Adam.
Also sugar is enemy #1.
safe and effective...not!
have them get earthing mats
@@JimObsolete could you elaborate?
@@ruidadgmailcanada8508 no its not. It's linoleic acid. Basically seed oils. Except macadamia oil which is very low in LA. Vegetable oils are very bad for you also. These oils oxidize so quickly and are the worst for you (newer info in the last several years). As usual, this was discovered long ago but since our medical/health system is corrupted by $$$, the FDA is about as usedul as a blind guard dog who is easily distracted with treats. The biggest question is how to solve this issue. Not sure how to do that other than subsidizing industries that manufacture harmful food products which were once thought to be okay. E.g. you cant just make soybean production illegal (fermented is finne but the vast majority is not fermented). Entire farms have become dedicated to its production. So how do you make the shift without destroying an industry or part of it? The gov/the population should support farmers to change to healthier options or else an entire sector of the economy could collapse. The other option is what we have now which is a shitkoad of money soent by farmers who ban together and pay lobbyists to prevent legislation that is not favorible to their $$ interests and muddy the waters. Its better for all of us to go the other route. Sigh ......it will be the norm one day but society takes forever to mature. People don't like chage
Dandelions & pink clover are my favorite flowers! So beautiful & they smell so good.
With food shortages coming we should learn to use them.
When they turn to white flowers, I loved blowing them as a child. I have heard about the benefits of dandelions.
Exactly why I’m here. I want to learn as much as I can while I can. Dandelions are a great start!!
THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION MY BLESSINGS
I live in Australia and I eat every weed that grows in my yard, as well as the dandelions 😊
Bless you Brother 💞
adds a whole new meaning to the word"weed eater"... lol
@@ronaldstarkey4336
Lol 🤣
Astonishing young man who’s very learned!🙏✨❤️
10 stalks of dandelion per day is for complet regeneration of the body. You can also fray them or make an omelet with egs. It is very tasty.
I like to collect the flower buds of the dandelion. Sautéed in olive oil, with some garlic, salt and pepper, they have the texture of small artichoke hearts, and they taste so good.
I love /cherish dandelions!! I make dandilion honey with the flowers, salad with the leaves and plan to make coffee with the roots this year. I have never sprayed my yard and I encourage others to harvest these beautiful, perfect flowers!
We made wine out of the flowers. Very good.
Don't know how this one slipped by me!!! Thank you for letting others know about the powerful effects and uses for the flowers~
I'm so upset when I see lawn people come and poison lawns my lawn as well because I drink my dandelion flowers and have been for years. I figured if they can make wine out of them why couldn't I make tea? it's a delightful green taste....
My grandmother was born in 1900 in Italy. at 16 they removed one of her kidneys and they told her for her to be healthy she *needed to watch her diet*
Back then in Italy, in 1916 they knew about the value of nutrition... She lived on dandelions an Italian bread & lived to be 86+ thanks Adam~ you are the best.... Move over PS~ Adam is teaching us
more++++
Brilliant! Thanks young brother - what great gifts you're bring to the tribe. Lovin your 'work' /play 🙏 ❤️
Love dandelion growing the wild dandelion from the seeds in greenhouse
This is a revelation to me. I have loved the root and leaf for so long but never considered the flower.
Dandelion were scarce in my neighborhood but I have really cultivated them in my garden and in turn have shared them with the rest of my neighborhood. Any way the wind blows...
Dandelions are real food for regular people. The flowers are so easy to use and the greens, too. They are one of my top 5 favorite wild greens, just because they are so plentiful, good for so much of the year, and so good to eat. Enjoy those dandelions -- flowers and all!
Well said!
The flowers are so good! Alternative to sugary candy or gummy bears.
whats the best way to consume dandelions?
Yes, the flowers are good pretty much right up till the snow flies. I e only eaten the leaves in the spring though, and I admit, I have no idea what to do with the roots.
It is important to note that the dandelion greens you buy in the store are not the real dandelions like in this video. Grocery dandelion greens are actually wild chicory (Cichorium intybus) which is a weed that has purple-blue flowers and grows on the side of the road. :D
My mom made dandelion wine from wild plants in New England!
Adam, further to the amazing info provided in your video, I read a friend explain how a flavonoid called LUTEOLIN may assist our immune systems directly with CORONAVIRUS. And it just so happens after some surfing around, I found a study that showed DANDELION FLOWER to be very high in luteolin.
"There is a natural flavonoid called luteolin, which occurs in many common foods, and acts as an inhibitor to a substance called furin. Furin occurs naturally in our bodies, but activates the spike protein on the coronavirus, thereby allowing it to enter our cells. By increasing our intake of foods high in luteolin, it may offer us additional support to avoid infections and disease progression."
~James Spears, doctor of herbal medicine
How much do you eat a day please. Thank you 🙏
No such virus!!!
@@icnow2097 I'm not certain but I'd say toss as many flowers into your salad as tastes good. Your body will let you know.
@@shapiemau2244 of course there are viruses that are called coronaviruses. CV is a well-studied family of viruses of which there must be hundreds of strains at least, and half a dozen of these that are known to infect humans, those which are some of the viruses responsible for the common cold in the early winter and the flu in late winter. This was the case for countless years before 2019. As for what came out of the lab as a bioweapon, that was only part coronavirus. There are lots of therioes what makes up the other part but I won't bother to drop that here as I only know of the hearsay, though it sounds horrific.
@@krownstone you have not studied the subject thoroughly and thus have also been duped into believing their lie. You should look into this fallacy deeper.
Regarding common colds etc, much the same thing and you show a very limited understanding of the biology of both man and the animal kingdom.
Please study this in more detail.
