"Dandelion is part of the Ayurvedic apothecary and prescribed in Chinese medicine. Dandelion was deliberately introduced to North America as food and medicine by European settlers: a non-native invasive species brought by a non-native invasive culture. [Dandelion] grows with little input (indeed, often against the grower's will!). Labeling dandelion a "weed" has wasted a vast amount of nutrition and culinary opportunity. I'm delighted that TEALEAVES is showcasing this pandigenous gem."
