Description
Organic Dandelion Leaf, Dried and Ready for Tea, Salads or Smoothies
Healing Concepts Organic Dandelion Leaf is dried, cut dandelion leaf in a 40g resealable pack. Unlike the roasted or raw root, the leaf has a lighter, more bitter and grassy character, and it's more versatile too, you can steep it as a tea, crumble it into a smoothie, or rehydrate a pinch into salads and cooking.
What's In It
The only ingredient is organic dried dandelion leaf, non-GMO and free from pesticides. Dandelion leaf has traditionally been used as a gentle, natural diuretic, and is a source of nutrients including vitamin A, vitamin C and potassium, common to leafy greens. These are traditional, commonly reported uses rather than clinically proven outcomes, so this product isn't a substitute for medical advice.
Leaf vs Root
If you're after the earthy, coffee-like flavour of dandelion root instead, our Organic Dandelion Root Roasted and Organic Dandelion Root Raw, both from the same brand, are worth a look. The leaf is a different part of the plant with a lighter, more bitter profile.
Ways To Use It
- Steeped as a tea, on its own or blended with other herbs
- Added in small amounts to salads for a bitter, nutrient-dense edge
- Blended into smoothies
As with most herbal preparations, it isn't right for everyone. Because dandelion leaf has traditionally been used as a diuretic, people who are pregnant or breastfeeding, taking diuretic or blood pressure medication, or living with kidney issues should check with their healthcare provider before adding it to their routine.
How To Brew It As Tea
Add about one teaspoon per cup, pour over hot water and steep for five minutes, or longer for a stronger, more bitter cup, then strain well before drinking.
