Eating The Ozarks

I’ve been invited to attend the Smithsonian Folklife festival in DC again this year!!!

It's finally time to be back in the soil digging Dandelion roots! The entire plant is edible at different times in the season, now is the time for roots (before the plants flower). The root is anti-inflammatory, helps our blood filter excess waste, improves circulation, and is high in absorbable minerals especially iron. One of my favorite ways to use them is to roast the roots, and steep into a wonderful cup of tea. Its flavor is similar to chocolate covered coffee beans.

To roast roots: First chop them, and roast at 225 for 45 min to an hour or so, until they smell similar brownies. *Note if you start with dried root, you only need to roast 10-15 min. Brew as you would coffee.

Happy foraging friends!
