SPRING TONIC
Edible Weeds
Dandelion greens are one of season's earliest foods and a great spring tonic. The greens are gathered when tender before the flowers appear for both nutritional and medicinal properties. The leaves become bitter the longer they grow. Many folks enjoy dandelion greens with a Pennsylvania Dutch Hot Bacon Dressing over fried potatoes.
