【原创】蒲公英的吃法种法

Somebody asked me whether or not wild Dandelion edible?

Yes, it is edible, I ate it for a few months now, and still alive.

How to eat it? Shredded Dandelion with meat, shrimp to make Chinese dumplings, or Wonton, all are fine, tasted good.

Problem: wild Dandelion mixed with other weeds, harder to clean. Also, the wild Dandelion leaves are too small, but at some no weed space, the leaves are so much bigger, and lovely.

Suggestion: It is time to harvest Dandelion seeds now. Therefore, I cleaned all weed etc. from a piece of yard, added some new good soil, fertilizer, etc. collect the Dandelion white seed ball, bury them into the land. I am expecting better Dandelion can be harvested early next spring.

It only grows once a year in natural environment. After this season, you need to wait for the next year.

Why some supermarket has it all year round, I don't know. I guess 2 possibilities

1) Artificial environment, such as 温室 之类， but need to be cold.
2) Imported from south America, since their season is opposite of ours.

Dandelion leaves are best before the flowers come out, it's a bit too late for this season now.

Great as salad.

[zt]蒲公英是一味治疗胃痛的好药，无论是急慢性胃炎及溃疡均可使用，此药苦而不伤胃气，甘寒不损正气，还有疏肝利胆作用，对肝胃失和也是良药一味，可以在各种证型之胃痛中加用。这是我实习时幸得浙江省名中医王以文之传，使我受益一生，为此我曾经在中医杂志上发表过〈王以文治胃鳞爪〉的文章。
