RE: Wild Food: Load Up My Omelette with Dandelions Please!

in #ecotrain6 years ago

That's put your liver back into tip-top shape! (All that potassium, but especially with the bitter property refreshening this organ.) Your skin must be glowing too! (Silicium). I am currently taking a shot of dandelion elixer every morning. Birch elixer also works very well around this time of year.

The closer you are to nature the more easily your body will "crave" for certain power foods in an appropriate fashion: now is most assuredly the time for bitter (ur-spring detox).

You most certainly have drawn out the bright, radiant sun of our bitter little common weed flower and contrasted it with its moon white seed head. Both are tapped into the earth deeply (by that impressive, stubborn root lawn owners hate so much). This makes them untameably lionesque (perseverant weeds) (löwenzahn=dents de lion= teeth of/dandelion: a sunning fluffy pussycat with a bitter=vitalising rosette of sharp teeth, cut by forces of air and light.

It is so true, that you can acclimatise the palet to bitter; and it's a shame we modify our (supermarket) vegetables until they only taste sweet (there is a move to bring back a hint of tartness to tomatoes fortunately). People even eat baby leaf now to avoid the merest hint of bitter. The darker outside leaves of bitter lettuces are especially the most nutritious.

As ever, your posts are massively inspiring to trust all that lives in peace and harmony off the grid! We can even join you in partaking of it when it comes to such common weeds, which urban culture cannot so easily eradicate.

Yes I think my liver is smiling now :) How do you make your elixers @sukhasanasister? I've never tried birch, but I take some dandelion root tincture most days and am enjoying it.

You totally hit it, I definitely crave certain plants... especially herbs & greens right now... Im going to have to find a neighbor with a nettle patch!

Thank you for your helpful comment... you have a lot of wisdom with plants I can see :)

So glad that we humans can all connect and relate with the dandelion which is found so many places.
