In a world where things are only considered valuable if they have a price tag, many people have come to distrust nature or even barely to acknowledge its existence. So check out these amazing dandelion recipes and celebrate the bounties of the world that are still free.

One last note on safety: if you’re picking dandelions, be sure to pick them from somewhere that hasn’t been sprayed with chemicals.
