    Storing dandelion buds
    WHB #187
    June 08, 2009

    Dandelion budDandelion is a spontaneous herb, and it's all edible: leaves, flowers, roots... even buds. Some people say that they were similar to capers... I tryed them and it's not true: they're better!
    Let's see how to prepare and store them.

    Dandelion buds in vinegarHarvest the buds before they open.
    Put in a glass with boiling water and two tablespoons of vinegar.
    After 10 minutes, drain them well and store in a jar with olive oil.

    Cooked dandelion budsServe on bread or crackers of your choice.

    This goes to Katie from Eat This who's hosting this week's edition of Weekend Herb Blogging.
    This event is handled by Cook (almost) anything at least once.

    What do dandelion buds taste like? (Remarkably, we don t have any dandelion buds and are forced to buy our dandelion greens at the store!)

    Dandelion buds taste like many wild herbs, a little bitter.
    I didn t have dandelion in my pots, so I harvested the seeds!

    Ooops!! I completely forgot to check for the answer to my question...

    So they are not really all that similar tasting to capers at all then! I m really curious now. But I ll have to find some dandelion seeds and plant some in a pot too if it s not already too late in the season.
