Did you know that this ¨Spring¨ flower can be eaten? Yesterday while we were walking, a friend just suddenly grabbed this flower and started eating it. I was so surprised and my tongue-tied, so he asked me to try it.
Without any hesitation, I ate it too, like a rabbit. Oh my gosh, it was so sweeeeeet! It is really edible.
The problem is ... I don´t know what the name is. Do you have any idea what this flower is?

Many posts are written here on Dandelion which for some it is a weed to be uprooted but the flowers are so pretty and edible too with manyvhealth benefits
Sadly they do not grow here.
Dandelions are more than just weeds. Dandelion tea can detox the liver and improve your skin and stomach health, and these are just a few dandelion benefits.

Here this flower is worshipped to god. It only grows in winter here. I have never tasted it.

It was a bit awkward to me, too, but it turned out that it can. When no one is looking sneak in. Make sure it's the clean one. Just for you to find out the taste.

I see you have the name in your tag. It's a dandelion. I didn't know it was edible.

Someone tag it. I didn't know it at first so I did not name it. Someone did it for me. It's good

Yes, its also one of the better first flowers to help bees along! Most don't like them in their yards and treat them as a weed. I don't mind them and keep them in the yard. I'll even leave little patches of them growing if I'm the one mowing the lawn. Hubby runs them over!

For me I will keep it too. It might be weeds but it's edible. I will be bringing seeds with me and plant it in Thailand as suggested by mr owlwings.
