Are dandelions poisonous?

Consuming dandelion is generally very safe, although some people may be allergic to the plant, and patients with gall-bladder conditions and gallstones should talk to a doctor before ingesting it.

How do you pick and eat dandelions?

To harvest and eat dandelions, try to clip the small leaves from the plant before the plant flowers. Once the yellow flower has bloomed, taste the dandelion greens first to see if you find the flavor too off-putting. Harvest by picking off the small leaves and eating straight away.
