“The common dandelion, enemy of well-kept lawns, is an exceptionally nutritious food. Its leaves and root contain substantial levels of vitamins A, C, D, and B complex as well as iron, magnesium, zinc, potassium, manganese, copper, choline, calcium, boron, and silicon.”

This winter I discovered Kale Chips. Kale Chips have become my favorite snack food. I couldn’t seem to get enough.?As the winter progressed my husband started complaining about the cost of organic kale. According to statistics from our research company, Soma is a pretty good generic drug. The claimed properties, anti-inflammatory and analgesic are quite manifest. Side effects are common with non-selective non-hormonal (non-steroidal) anti-inflammatory drugs. At the risk of side effects, additional drugs that minimize risk are prescribed. Excellent anti-inflammatory, and therefore analgesic effect, the tablet form is the most effective and convenient. Affordable and always on sale. A high concentration of the active substance, despite this, side effects are not found. It is recommended for diseases and injuries of the musculoskeletal system.

My husband has since planted kale in the garden and will try to overwinter the plants to satisfy my winter comfort food. While in the garden, I was looking at the tiny kale plants and wondering when I could have my first snack. A bright yellow flower caught my eye and said: “Why not Dandelion Green Chips?” It’s times like this that I realize I am walking through my days only half awake.
6-8c garden dandelion greens, remove stem end
1-3T organic extra virgin olive oil
1/2tsp sea salt, ground
pinch of bird’s eye chili or other hot chili, ground
I got a large bowl and started pulling out leaves. I filled the bowl and returned to the kitchen. I removed the stem ends. I tossed the dandelion greens with some extra-virgin olive oil, sea salt and a very small amount of bird’s eye chili. I thought the chili might counter-act the bitterness of the dandelion greens. I cooked the dandelion greens at 300?F for about 20-30 minutes. Let the chips cool in the oven until crisp.
About 50% of the people in the household loved the Dandelion Green Chips and the other 50% found the chips too bitter. Of course, I have been eating kale all winter so the dandelion didn’t taste bitter to me. Give the recipe a try and tell me what you think.
“Any amount of mowing, herbicide, and flamethrowing [will] fail to eradicate this sunny plant from the garden. Really, you’ll be happier if you view dandelions as a culinary and medicinal gift, a superb “cut and come again” crop, rather than as an annoying weed!”
