What is Dandelion Root? Although dandelion root and dandelion leaf are part of the same flowering plant, Taraxacum officinale, and deemed by gardeners as a total nuisance, the trut h is that this wish-granting so-called weed is one not to be thrown away. Dandelions are a member of the Asteraceae family, and native to Europe, Asia, and North America. Incredibly, some botanists have divided dandelions as a species into as many as 2000 microspecies, with about 235 having been recorded in Great Britain and Ireland. So, with dandelions being so prevalent across the globe, and knowing all parts are also delightfully edible, it's a good to know how nutrient-dense they are. What Exactly are Dandelion Roots Uses? Though the dandelion leaf is often prepared either in a salad mix, or sautéed, the dandelion root is usually powdered, sometimes roasted, and used as a substitute for coffee, or, in this case, as a delightfully smooth, healing tea.
