Eating Dandilions

[Guest guest]

Last year we told our son that he could eat dandilions, now this year

he keeps eating them, only the flower but he thinks they taste good.

Is there any harm in this or any good?

This will do him no harm at all (but lots of good) as long as they are clean

and free from pesticides etc.

 

Do bear in mind that the slang name for dandelion is 'piss the bed' as the

leaves are a proven diuretic so if your son starts to wet the bed, cut back

on them for a while!
