Origins
The Persian word for dandelion root roughly translates to "small messenger", because they considered it a symbol of good news for our health.
The truth is that few people think of the dandelion root when they hear the word dandelion. Most of the time, the first thing that comes to mind is a field of bright yellow flowers, abundant silver balls of fluff or a spring salad.
The root is simply the last thing we think of. The rootstalk of the dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) is quite massive and tough. It can be harvested all year round, but autumn is the ideal time. Not only does the roasted root make an excellent decaffeinated coffee substitute, but you can also find dandelion beer or liquor. In a category of its own, the infusion prepared from the dried rootstalk is rich in vitamins A, B, C and D, and also contains calcium, iron, magnesium and zinc, for example. There are no known side effects of the decoction, but we recommend prior consultation with a doctor for people with liver disease. As always, we advise a short break after 8 weeks of use.
