One tip using this green... If you don't like the bitter taste, try blanching it for few seconds til wilts then squeeze most of liquid out then season with sesame oil, toasted sesame seeds, soy sauce, garlic, red pepper and salt and pepper to taste. Massage with your hands a bit and serve with rice. I just made some and it's delicious! :). Not much bitterness at all! I love bitter foods anyway since its good for you! Thanks for the video!
I happen to have sesame oil and seeds on hand. Thank you. I was looking for a way to cook these. Raw was a bit tough, though the smaller leaves are tender.
@@bitty_bytes001 sesame oil or sesame seeds literally make everything taste like McDonalds (the part people liked lolz) and Chinese takeout, cause sesame is the main flavor we all know from them. Its fun to grow up and make your own food and realize you can have healthy tasty food that tastes like its from fast food but its not fast food. I can't eat meat or bread anymore but I did enjoy the flavors, since going vegan I now understand how to create any flavor multiple ways sometimes even without the actual ingredient people are tasting like when you put mint, coffee, vanilla, and blend it with frozen bananas it tastes like chocolate but there is none in it but all those things are had with chocolate and similar enough chemistry it tastes like its in it. Chemistry of the tongue connects us to the truth revealed through similarities.
Greetings from Bangalore, India. I grew Dandelion greens by chance, actually thinking they are arugula. And thought so for quite some time even though the peppery taste associated with arugula was missing. Not being in a very salad savvy environment I have been learning about salad greens as I go along. Then I found arugula in a fancy grocery shop and realised the difference. Searched internet and found that what I was growing was Dandelion greens. By then I had been eating dandelion greens raw in roasted beet salad with feta cheese...and I had come to love it. I will continue that, plus I saw your recipe for sautéing it with soy sauce here. And I have found that it tastes delicious with scrambled egg as well... Thank you for explaining about the nutritional value of these greens.
something I found out by experimenting: if you wrap a double layer of paper towels around the greens then put them in the plastic bag they will not wilt or become brown as fast. love your video. thank you.
When I was a kid growing up in Germany we ate them raw. Vinaigrette dressing and fry up some bacon bits. Mix it up with the dressing and bacon, then pour some bacon grease over it and mix it up again. I still do it that way today. As far as butter lettuce goes I think this is the best lettuce on the planet. Here is a dressing that was passed down to me. No measuring cups needed, just taste it as you go. All you need is Mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, and dill weed. Mix it up to the taste you like. If the vinegar flavor is to strong just add a bit more sugar. This is an old German way of doing this. Have fun.
After seeing your video, I decided to simply quickly fry a tiny amount of dandelions leaves and their flowers that I grabbed up in just a minute from my lawn. I added butter and garlic salt, and then I served them with soy sauce and was shocked at how great they tasted. So tomorrow in daylight, I shall gather a large pile of wild dandelions and try out your recipe. Thanks for the idea. I had only been adding them to smoothies for their nutrition. I didn't realize they might actually taste good cooked. Thanks!
I love fresh dandeloin for our morning salad, mixed with olive oil and lemon juice, topped with grilled chicken, few raisins, red onions and tomatoes, but expect urinating more after an hour. This is total cleansing vegie. Good for your liver and all. Thank you Dani.
As a child I used to go with my Mom in the fields and pick them. I always picked the baby ones because in a salad they are delicious. We always steam and saute' the bigger ones.. Yummy !!! Thank you for bringing back my childhood memories...
Just picked some fresh from area in back yard that was safe. I made a salad with some chopped cabbage and tossed with dressing. Dressing: 2tlbsp of raspberry vinaigrette dressing 1tsp white vinegar 1tblsp sugar 1/2 tsp soy sauce 2tblsp olive oil or more 1tsp mayo Salt and pepper to taste Whisk and pour over It was so good
First time using these nutritious greens and I decided to put them into my Mexican Albóndiga soup and there was barely any taste to them but it paired well with the cilantro bunch I threw in 👌🏼definitely will be incorporating these greens into more of my meals
Wow, I have a garden FULL of these things. I never knew you could actually make them into something edible. Going out there right now to pick them and try them for dinner.
Yeah, the whole thing is edible. I believe the flowers are used for tea, and the root can be added to things as a flavoring. Lots of health benefits. Many uses in English and early American cuisine
I think the store baught dandelion greens are a different type compared to the ones that grow in our gard. Because they definitely are much bigger and better quality.
@@wolfy1987 You can eat the flowers on their own as well. The root can be baked until really dry and then crushed to make a coffee substitute. You can also make tea from the leaves, and if you make jelly from the flowers it can be used as a honey substitute. The flowers can also be used to make wine. Dandelions aren't native to North America; they were intentionally introduced here by the colonists because they're so versatile, useful, and easy to grow.
This is like the Best Food in the World, the benefits are astronomical and endless! I think im going to get addicted to Dandelion & i never want to be Sober!!! Nice Video! 😁
Yummy .. I put garlic and olive oil on them and a tiny dash of salt. Eat it as a salad or as a sandwich, on French bread. I even have made dandelion burritos. I buy mine in the store , in the old days we picked them in grandmas yard. The bitter is the good part !!! LoL The stems are yummy ! I only cut off the very bottom of the stems, because they are hard to clean, so, just chop them off.
My FAVORITE greens! I blanch them in boiling water for about 2 mins then after draining them I add some olive oil, salt and lemon juice and eat like that. Great!
My family are German and Pennsylvania Dutch. My grandmother wilted these greens with sugared vinegar bacon grease and chopped bacon. She would make homemade bread and sop up the bacon grease and put a bunch of greens and onion on a peice of warm bread and it was delicious!
I boiled my own backyard dandelions after washing them then mix them with butter salt pepper and garlic powder they were tasting awesome and they are healthy
love all your videos!!!...your 101's are most helpful...and your new kitchen (in another video) is beautiful!!!...all the recipes really inspire me to cook healthy meals...thank you so much!!!
Also try this recipe: brown onion in olive oil until they get dark brown and then add dandelion with salt, pepper and cumin, the carmalized onions gives it a great flavor.
I just pulled a whole bunch from the garden... triple washed, picking through each time to get rid of any wilted or discolored leaves. They are now in the fridge, haven't decided if I'll make a raw salad or saute them yet... I have so many, I can probably try both! (I also cleaned and roasted the roots, will try that later as a caffeine free coffee alternative...)
I'm Greek so I was raised eating Dandelion Greens. We steam them, then add fresh lemon juice, and a good Greek Extra Virgin Olive oil, with salt. They are so delicious this way and no soy sauce please! Lol.
@@Sofiaasal you need the youngest leaves. They get more bitter as they age. The ones she uses in this video look too old. If you grow your own you can pick baby leaves and they're good raw e.g. in salads.
I picked up a bunch on a whim, and then read about people saying they're bitter. I don't much like bitter! But then I cooked some with bacon, onions, garlic, raisins, and balsamic vinegar, and that tamed down the bitter with no need for all the sugar in many of the recipes out there. Onions have a lot of sugar already, bacon is sugar cured, and of course raisins are almost all sugar, so there's no need to add syrup or sugar.
just had me a nice salad tonight with a bunch of dandelion greens and fresh spinach.. so awesome i used oil and nutritional yeast to take the bite of the bitter with some fresh organic orange juice on it so yummy! love dandelions so much energy after you eat them.:)
Nice video! Thanks for sharing ways to use the greens. Dandelions are good for gut health! Inulin in the root as a prebiotic to feed our probiotics, they help to support bile flow, and more! I just created a video on it, too
Wow ! Came here to learn about Dandelion Greens and fell in love ! You are simply beautiful. Great 101 job. Covered all bases and very informative. I'm an expert now! ...but totally infatuated :-)
I made a couple videos on this dandelions I got my dandelions from my own back yard, I think the bitter part has more nutrition that's what's better, I boiled mine and then put them in a bowl with butter and garlic powder salt and pepper and they were awesome and healthy
Best, quickest way Ive gotten info on dandelion greens. I just found ur channel today. I have liked some vids and subscribed. Thanks for all the info!! Have u also heard that dandelion greens aid in fertility? That's how I found out abt dandelion greens. Hubby n I are workin on our family and I was researching holistic/homeopathic/natural ways to aid in fertility. Of course, its winter time and I cant get any fresh greens. But I cant wait til spring to try these out. Again, thanks!
How do your dandelions look so good. Do you grow them in a garden bed. Also I had a hard time getting the roots out bc we have a lot of clay dirt..and I was afraid my husband would say something about holes in the yard..
I never have eaten dandelion greens before,but I.do give them to my beared dragon, they love them, I put them in a salad for her with other things , fruit, crickets, and worms. I decided to cook some this week.
I am indigenous Montagmard Jarai live in North Carolina I lived in my yard today sauté with garlic, green onion , fish sauce also add with lime juice so tasty
Good vid. I always learn a lot from your videos and share them on facebook for my brother to see. He has been diagnosed with MS and this information is good for him.
I threw these in a salad the other day following a recipe and couldn't finish it bc they were so bitter. I was making faces every bite (i used the red dandelions) i was surprised you didn't make a face too when you tired one haha. I'm gonna try juicing the rest of them today with some fruit to help with the bitterness.. Great video tho as always!
Klara Nissan Maybe cook then like collards? I think after mine grow, thats what Im gonna try. Although if they're similar to kale I'm cool eating that raw.
If bothered by bitterness for raw salad - a bit of sugar solves it. Coat leaves first with olive oil before anything else - keeps them from getting soggy at all (same hint for all leaf salads) They keep going until the fall - new plants all the time.
Good video but make sure the kitchen sink is super clean I read that it often has more bacteria than the toilet, the most in most homes. I also read that it is bad to fry olive oil because you don’t want to heat it above 350 Celsius because it can start to smoke and produce a carcinogen
I just wait till they are growing along the dual carriage way outside of my house.. Hundreds of thousands of them.. The road partition is just solid yellow for 3 miles when they are in bloom.
After seeing your video and trying it, I wanna know how to grow large dandelion greens like you have. They are all small in my yard. Should I fertilize the local wild ones? For some reason that sounds funny and I'm laughing.
Hi Dani!! I have a random, off topic, question for you! Sorry in advance! Do you use quinoa at all? I am post gasrtic bypass (over a year out) and am trying to get more protein in my diet, i have hear so much about quinoa and I even bough a box, I am just not sure what to do with it! Silly, I know! If you are looking for a vid topic it might be a good one! :) Kristin
You are really smart dani, you are really helping me lose weight and eat healthier. I was actually thinking about dandelions lately... I heard you can put it in salad, but I imagined the FLOWERS in the salad haha. They're everywhere though, can't we just pick them?
My family’s favourite...we blanch them and then toss them up with olive oil, garlic, bread crumbs and salt put them into a cssserole dish and bake them...add about a cup of water and sprinkle more bread crumbs on top....we always baked them when we made toast chicken and potaties
I've never picked them BUT I've read a lot about people who do. I would imagine you want to be sure there are no chemicals or pesticides being used in the areas they grow!!
I would think replacing kale or spinach in a soup with dandelion leaves would work. Mild pork sausage, smoked paprika, garbanzo beans and dandelion greens (a play on Spanish Chorizo sausage). *I left some leaves out, and forgot them and they turned brown and dried out really quickly... Instead of throwing them out, I added them to a soup and they worked really well. Add them to a white bean soup, navy or cannellini, at it would look and taste great.
HI Dani how many cloves of garlic do you use? and how long do you saute the greens for? can i saute the stems to or do i need to use them in a vegetable broth?
We in North Idaho panhandle are at wind minus 11 degrees but when i came upon your video spot of placing the greens in a plastic bag i thought WHAT IF you put a little stevia water in the bag , would they taste sweeter . Flowers and celery and others soak up the water they have their stems in. Has anyone out there tried this? Keep Looking Up.
I rinse them and put them in a pan of clean water with a bit of whole salt, then pop them in the liwer fridge they keep really well. Also goid is a gkas of water even if they hace wikted. They will puff up again.
buy them?? nope.. got out to your yard or pasture and pick small tender ones.cut off the tough roots and then wash wash wash untill all of the dirt is gone ,..make an italian oil and vinegar dressing add hard boiled eggs and toss , have a nice crusty Italian bread.. yummm dinner is ready.
One tip using this green... If you don't like the bitter taste, try blanching it for few seconds til wilts then squeeze most of liquid out then season with sesame oil, toasted sesame seeds, soy sauce, garlic, red pepper and salt and pepper to taste.

something I found out by experimenting: if you wrap a double layer of paper towels around the greens then put them in the plastic bag they will not wilt or become brown as fast. love your video. thank you.
then do you leave the plastic bag open for a little airflow, or completely sealed shut ?

Today I'm trying to grow my Dandelions in a pot instead of picking them in the yard. I think in the pot I may get them year round, I hope.
+Beerrunner81 you ruined the nutrition with the bacon
+{ Ace-Kid97 } didn't ruin or take away the nutrients. instead put in some bad fats N carbs is all
Very true, BACON no no no no never

Nice. My mother would cook the dandelion greens in water, changing the water at least twice.
Ever freeze the greens for useing them in winter.

@@andreaaldrich4046 how did they taste?
I've never tried BUT I would image they could!

I just wait till they are growing along the dual carriage way outside of my house.. Hundreds of thousands of them.. The road partition is just solid yellow for 3 miles when they are in bloom.
Dandelions are best just as they are. Clean and eat. Tifaf as they are called in north africa had been eaten for thousands of years.
I'm sure you can but they are bitter so I would start with just a little and see how it tastes:)
After seeing your video and trying it, I wanna know how to grow large dandelion greens like you have. They are all small in my yard. Should I fertilize the local wild ones? For some reason that sounds funny and I'm laughing.
Once a week we cook dandelions in my house..we love it..
I've never tried spinach chips, only kale chips! Maybe I can do a little experimenting.
I heard dandelion had a lot of benefit to eat thank for the videos
Hi Dani!! I have a random, off topic, question for you! Sorry in advance! Do you use quinoa at all?

I using Dandelion are very effective at many things.
Great information! Loved it 🥰
I asume these go well in a green smoothie ? Might have to give that a try someday. Thanks for the great video !!
Thank you so much!! Great video
🙏 Thank you for great recipes.

i just picked some biking around my neighborhood :)
Just make sure no chemicals were sprayed, hence weed killer,

I'd never buy dandelions - i get mine free from my garden, and they taste great.
Art in Urban Nature Lucky for you! They must be amazing when they are that fresh.
They are, even my 9 year old son loves them :)
I've never picked them BUT I've read a lot about people who do. I would imagine you want to be sure there are no chemicals or pesticides being used in the areas they grow!!
pick them from your yard. the are a little strong tasting. it's almost dandilion season here in michigan, lol
I just ate them straight from my back yard, I feel empowered !😄
Got 90 seconds complete recipe and instruction Dandelion Wine the real deal, . ruclips.net/video/QopCNdqzv5E/видео.html part 1, 2& 3
Thank you for sharing
Thank you for your lovely video
Next time I see them in the market I'm going to give them a try.
Thanks
go to a local park. you'll find plenty for free. :)
Louisa Capell ONLY if you know the park isn't being sprayed with pesticide.
Super interesting vlog. Thank you!
thanks. very informative. great recipe.
where can we find dandelion in the phils.?
Just braze in grapeseed oil , sprinkle organic ground turmeric , add minced chives then, lightly drizzle with honey. YUM

Instead of throwing them out, I added them to a soup and they worked really well. Add them to a white bean soup, navy or cannellini, at it would look and taste great.
I bet it would work! Dandelions can be a little more bitter - but if one likes the flavor (like we do!) it would work.
HI Dani how many cloves of garlic do you use? and how long do you saute the greens for? can i saute the stems to or do i need to use them in a vegetable broth?
We in North Idaho panhandle are at wind minus 11 degrees but when i came upon your video spot of placing the greens in a plastic bag i thought WHAT IF you put a little stevia water in the bag , would they taste sweeter . Flowers and celery and others soak up the water they have their stems in. Has anyone out there tried this? Keep Looking Up.
I have noticed that the dandelions that grow in spring taste much better than the summer. Less bitter.
This salad would be so delicious with a Mayo dressing, bacon, walnuts, and onion.
Thanks 😊
Having in yard those . Inspiring to eat those tomorrow.
I juice them.. With red. And yellow and red bell peppers ginger, limes and 1 or 2 habenero peppers..
You're the coolest on the entire planet!
Happy 4th ♥️🇺🇸👍
Awesome !
I rinse them and put them in a pan of clean water with a bit of whole salt, then pop them in the liwer fridge they keep really well. Also goid is a gkas of water even if they hace wikted. They will puff up again.
buy them?? nope.. got out to your yard or pasture and pick small tender ones.cut off the tough roots and then wash wash wash untill all of the dirt is gone ,..make an italian oil and vinegar dressing add hard boiled eggs and toss , have a nice crusty Italian bread.. yummm dinner is ready.

You shouldn't really do that. Because you don't know if those dandelions have been sprayed with pesticides.
Yes buy them. Otherwise, I'd have to be let out of the car at the median that divides the highway.
Looking at trying this😁
I would eat the stems: they looked fine to me. I even eat kale stems, if not super thick. I love greens!!!
They taste delicious in pho!
Claire Holman you right
