Guest guest Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Dear Rachel, Dandelion Wine is generally made in the Spring with the flowers of the plants just opening . dandelion Wine is high in vitamin C and good for digestion and the blood too . Dandelion has endured a bad rap as a noxious weed when it is one of the most essential and helpful herbs to the body. The entire plant flowers, leaf stem and root has health benefits. I am not sure what your question was but you can contact me for further info. Dandelion makes me smile...
