Dandelion
Overview:
While many people think of the dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) as a pesky weed, herbalists consider it a valuable herb that can be used as a food and medicine. Dandelion is a rich source of vitamins A, B complex, C, and D, as well as minerals such as iron, potassium, and zinc. Dandelion leaves are used to add flavor to salads, sandwiches, and teas. The roots are used in some coffee substitutes, and the flowers are used to make wines.

it remembers me the day I saw a man on his knees in my backyard. He was taking dandelions to make wine. I forgot to ask him for a bottle.
Excellent details.
