Taraxacum officinale
organic dandelion
plant overview
dandelion, more than a weed
Nearly everyone living in the northern hemisphere has encountered the
dandelion, likely in great number since the herb is a prolific and often
invasive plant. Its common name is a testament to its toothed lance-like
leaves, which have also inspired the nickname “lion’s tooth.” Bright yellow
flower heads are in keeping with membership in the sunflower family, and
their round shape are responsible for another common name — priest's crown.
While dandelion is a salad herb and vegetable fresh, its dried leaves and
roots are made into teas, tinctures and extracts.
