Dandelion is a resilient and radiant plant, often dismissed as a weed but deeply revered in traditional herbalism. Every part of this plant—from its golden blossoms to its mineral-rich roots—has been used for centuries across many cultures. The root, in particular, is known for its rich earthy flavor and grounding, rejuvenating nature.
Botanical Information:
A member of the Asteraceae family, Taraxacum officinale thrives in compacted and disturbed soils, where it works tirelessly to restore balance. Its thick taproot pulls up deep nutrients, offering a rich profile of minerals and bitter compounds. Traditionally harvested in the autumn or early spring, the root has long been treasured in wellness rituals.
