Taraxacum officinale
Dandelion is a hardy perennial herb valued for both its nutritional qualities and its long history of culinary and traditional herbal use. The young, deeply toothed leaves are delicious fresh in salads or lightly cooked, while the bright yellow flowers attract bees and other beneficial pollinators.

Dandelion also makes an excellent companion plant and compost activator, helping recycle nutrients from deep within the soil.
The leaves are naturally rich in vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A and K, along with calcium, potassium, magnesium and iron. Traditionally, the roots have been dried and roasted to make a caffeine-free coffee substitute, while young leaves can be blanched by tying them together to produce a milder flavour.
