Harvest dandelions in meadows away from the road. If you need the whole plant, the easiest way to harvest it is to stick a knife under the root and remove the plant.
If you need leaves, it is best to pick them from bushes that have not yet bloomed, as the leaves are less bitter then. Fresh leaves are excellent for preparing salads and can be added to risotto, pasta, sauces, and they can also be used to enrich mushy juices or smoothies. To prepare tea, dandelion leaves should be dried in an airy and shady place, reports Avaz.
