Storing dandelion buds

Harvest and Store

June 08, 2009

Dandelion is a spontaneous herb, and it's all edible: leaves, flowers, roots... even buds. Some people say that they were similar to capers... I tryed them and it's not true: they're better!
Let's see how to prepare and store them.

Harvest the buds before they open.
Put in a glass with boiling water and two tablespoons of vinegar.
After 10 minutes, drain them well and store in a jar with olive oil.

Serve on bread or crackers of your choice.

Author: Elizabeth (URL) 17/06/2009 What do dandelion buds taste like? (Remarkably, we don t have any dandelion buds and are forced to buy our dandelion greens at the store!)
Author: Graziana 17/06/2009 Dandelion buds taste like many wild herbs, a little bitter. I didn t have dandelion in my pots, so I harvested the seeds!
Author: Elizabeth (URL) 23/06/2009 Ooops!! I completely forgot to check for the answer to my question... So they are not really all that similar tasting to capers at all then! I m really curious now. But I ll have to find some dandelion seeds and plant some in a pot too if it s not already too late in the season.
