What Is Dandelion Root?

Dandelion is a familiar perennial plant known for its bright yellow flowers and deeply rooted place in traditional food and herbal practices.

This cut-and-sifted dandelion root has a woody, fibrous appearance, earthy aroma, and pleasantly bitter flavor. Simmer the root in water to prepare a warm herbal decoction, or combine it with other culinary herbs and spices to create a personalized loose-tea blend.

This product is unroasted. Its flavor will be more earthy and herbaceous than roasted dandelion root.

Flavor: Earthy and pleasantly bitter
Aroma: Mildly earthy and root-like

Energetic tradition: Sometimes associated symbolically with resilience, grounding, and adaptability; these are traditional associations, not scientifically established effects

Suggested Preparation

Add 2 teaspoons of cut-and-sifted dandelion root to 8 fluid ounces of water.
Bring the water to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for approximately 10 minutes.
Strain carefully and serve.
Adjust the amount or brewing time to taste.

Because roots are dense and fibrous, gentle simmering generally produces a fuller infusion than a short steep.

Flavor and Aroma

Dandelion root produces an earthy, bitter herbal cup. This product is not roasted, so it will not have the deep, toasted flavor associated with roasted dandelion beverages.

Storage

Keep tightly sealed in a cool, dark, and dry place. Protect the root from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight.
