- How to identify this common weed which is a close relative of dandelion and has very similar nutritional and medicinal properties. Also a great simple recipe for enjoying this delicious plant!
CORRECTION: The botanical name is HYPOchaeris radicata, not HYDROchaeris.
Guys this herb is very powerful herb for kidneys, liver, great diuretic, stops any kind of internal bleeding and also lifting the internal organs, and straightening the cervix.
In Europe, Russia and far Eastern countries this herb is used as fresh or dry whole herb. To make the healing tea just pour fresh boiling water over 1tsp of dry, or 1tbs of fresh finely chopped whole herb.
This herb is considered as. priceless in the abovementioned countries.
Thank you for the explanation. I got it from the back of my yard. I thought it was dandalion as I didn't know the difference a d I was very discouraged to learn it's not dandelion.
Do you save the leaves or the flower?
Thank you for your explanation, it's abundant here in Cape town
Here in Italy I collect cats ears (flatweed) known as piattello here, and usually Blanche and then sauté them with other wild greens like dandelion, sow thistle, bristly oxtongue, chicory, etc, with a bit of minced garlic, a filet or two of anchovy, and some hot chili and have it as a side dish (contorno) called ripassata (because it is cooked in two stages). If you want to get fancy you can use this mixture as a stuffing in a roll of puff pastry or thinly rolled pizza dough and make a fallone.
Thank you! This was very helpful. Found my first one today but is too small to pick yet.

Awesomeness... I have a yard filled with them...
looks good
Thank you,great presentation.
Add olive oil !! And a bit of chilly flakes 👍🏼
I read that Hypochaeris radicata has branched, or forked, *solid* stalks, but today I checked one that looked exactly like what you show here, and it had *hollow* stalks.
Hallow stalk is dandelion
@@pioneerhomefarms Today I came across several *false dandelions* under a tree. They have long, branched and green stalks. I broke one piece of a stalk and looked at it carefully, and found that it is hollow, except that the diameter of the inner hollow tube is small but it is visibly and clearly there.
I have too much in my garden. I was thinking to get rid of them. Another thing i have is autumn hawkbit. Same kind of flowers but i love autumn hawkbit and its showy flowers.
First timer for Dandilions and Catsears and will forage in the garden tomorrow.
Wonderful presentation
Wanted to see that forkful at the end!! And the ahhh! Lovely!!
Thought it didn’t post but did, oh well.
awesome
Cool!!
Vitamin A & C, Iron, Magnesium, Calsium... 2:13 onward.
I don't understand. I cooked a large serving of cat's ear, thinking it was dandelion one day, and it acted as a strong laxative and giving me terrible stomach cramps. Why?
How do you harvest , cut, pull out the leaves .please show ....that too
Re-watch the video . . . esp. the part (starting at 2:39) showing it in the kitchen after she took the leaves off, separated the flower stems from the roots, etc. . . . This shows that she either pulled them out or dug them up. (Only digging would ensure that she got the roots, so that's What I suspect she did.) WHEN to dig them up is a question I don't recall her answering, though. I'll have to re-listen myself to see if I can find what I don't recall. lol
Hey! Does cat hear just have fuzz on one side? And do they always have flowers growing out of the center?
Got some seeds.
Did you leave the root on this one?
