Today as I researched for a method to organically eliminate dandelions from my yard, I became enlightened. Why remove them when you can eat them? After all, they are more nutritious than spinach. They’re high in vitamin A and C, and contains an impressive amount of calcium, iron, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, and copper! Just look at this nutrition fact box:
