All the healthy benefits of dandelions….who would have known?

Suppose your doctor tells you, on your next visit, that he has just discovered a miracle drug which, when eaten as a part of your daily diet or taken as a beverage, could, depending on the peculiarities of your body chemistry:

    prevent or cure liver diseases, such as hepatitis or jaundice;

    act as a tonic and gentle diuretic to purify your blood, cleanse your system, dissolve kidney stones, and otherwise improve gastro-intestinal health;

    assist in weight reduction;

    cleanse your skin and eliminate acne;

    improve your bowel function, working equally well to relieve both constipation and diarrhea;

    prevent or lower high blood pressure;

    prevent or cure anemia;

    lower your serum cholesterol by as much as half;

    eliminate or drastically reduce acid indigestion and gas buildup by cutting the heaviness of fatty foods;

    prevent or cure various forms of cancer;

Dandy Muffins and Bread

Seeings they are going to be in bloom soon I saw this and I am definately going to try and make up a batch of  Danny Muffins and Bread.  Check this recipe out.  If there is still Dandelions out at the spring event I am going to try and make some of this on the open fire.dandy_muffins1

Before making this recipe, you’ll need to harvest a cup of dandelion petals. This shouldn’t take more than 15 minutes with the right flowers and technique. Choose tall, robust dandelions that have been allowed to grow unmolested. Abandoned lots and field margins are good places to look. Generally the presence of dandelions indicates herbicides are not in use, but roadside specimens can contain the residue of other chemicals. Choose your spots wisely. You’ll want to harvest in the morning, before the flowers have fully opened. Grasp the yellow part of the flower (the petals) and twist away from the green sepals and stem. Discard any greenery. I prefer the bread to the muffins.

2 cups unbleached flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup dandelion petals
1/4 cup canola oil
4 tbsp honey
1 egg
scant 1 1/2 cups milk

Combine dry ingredients in large bowl, including petals, and mix. Make sure to separate clumps of petals. In separate bowl mix together milk, honey, oil, and beat in egg. Add liquid ingredients to dry and stir. Batter should be fairly wet and lumpy. Pour into buttered bread tin or muffin tin. Bake at 400 degrees. A dozen muffins will take 20-25 minutes. Bread will take 25-30 or more minutes. At 25 minutes, check doneness of bread with a toothpick. If still too moist inside, lower oven temperature and continue to bake, checking every five minutes.
