Tips:

• This “weed” can be found wild across the UK: use the young leaves in salads or cook larger leaves as you would spinach.

• Food waste tip: The entire Dandelion plant can be eaten, so use the roots to make a savoury coffee-like drink and the flowers in omelettes, risotto or as stunning garnishes.
