About Dandelion greens

Dandelion greens are the edible leaves of dandelion plants, gathered young or mature and used as a leafy vegetable. They may be eaten raw in salads or cooked in dishes such as sautés, soups and braises.

The leaves are usually deeply toothed and range from tender, small leaves to larger, tougher ones. Their flavour is distinctly bitter, often more pronounced in mature leaves; they are sold fresh, and may also be cooked or frozen for later use.
