Nutritional highlights:
One cup has 25 calories, while its nutritional content is HIGH.
Vitamin A...14,000 International units, compared to 11,000 UI for a carrot.
In addition, dandelion is an excellent source of vitamin C, Riboflavin, B6, Thiamin, as well as Calcium, copper, manganese and iron.
Dandelion is a rich source of nutrients and other compounds that promote liver function and health, promotes weigh loss, improves blood sugar control, and has a toning effect upon the whole body.
Dandelion root is regarded as both food and medicine.
For example: One study showed that dandelion improves the livers ability to clear excess toxins by 244 %.

My grandmother used to go an collect all kinds of greens.
Dandelions, lamb's-quarters, wild spinach mostly, maybe a few wild onions.
But man there is all kind of wild greens just to name a few: Of course, there are a zillion and one other flavorful wild greens: curled dock, milkweed, plantain, fireweed, watercress, wild grapes, shepherd's purse, wood sorrel, chickweed, stork's-bill, burdock, chicory. This is just a few.
I'd forgotten so I got these from a website.
I highlighted a few I remember she used.
Most people would call them weeds! 
Good health bro,
Nobby

Thanks, Nobby,
My grandmother who just died a week and a half ago, being 107 years old, used to do the same thing, when she was a child growing up.
Few people realize that God put these things here, for our health.
If more people ate such things, far fewer trips to the doctor, or hospitals would be needed.
