Further Food Nutritionist Commentary:
Have you ever eaten dandelion greens? 2 cups of dandelions greens provide the entire recommended daily intake of vitamin A, which plays a large role in eye health and immune function. They are also a vegetarian-friendly source of calcium, which is needed for healthy bones and muscle, nerve, and heart function. It’s also packed with potassium, which promotes healthier blood pressure and also is needed for muscle and nerve health.
