To the brazilians, does anybody know??? I've seen it already in the wild but I was wondering what's the name of it so I can look for it at the market. Thanks
Later,
Dan

That would DENTE-DE-LEAO...

Dandelion is a very nutritious wild plant and one of the best greens we can offer the iguana in the western world.

Low in water (86%). Pretty high in protein. High in vitamin B1, B2, B6 and E. Very high in iron and vitamin A. Good Ca:P.

Tip: Dandelion greens stay fresh up to 4 days in a glass of water. The leaves should always be torn to pieces, rather than cut, in order to keep the flavour.

I pick and feed dandelions almost daily during the summer when they are available

Leia "dandelion" com sotaque português:
DAN-DÊ-LÍ-ON, daí o nome... (Dente de leão)
