Here’s a survival food maybe you never thought of. You might already know that the entire dandelion plant is edible. The only part you don’t really want to eat is the white seed fluff, but the seeds can be eaten. Only problem is it’s a pain to separate them from the fluff unless you have a lighter. It’s a quick and easy way to do it while slightly toasting them at the same time. This won’t give you a ton of calories by any means, but it can help supplement the rest of your diet. Maybe season your fish with them or eat them by themselves.

He ate the last one this season.
During Holodomor in Ukraine, my great grandmother used to cook dandelion soups both for herself and for her baby sister, because there was nothing else to eat. In WW2, dandelions saved my family yet again, because it was the only thing that they could safely grow without arousing suspicion
Anyone else just look outside for a dandelion seed head only to remember it is not their time of year anymore
You buy a lighter for 2 dollars to get dandelion seeds instead of buying a kg of rice which is a bucket of cooked rice 😂
never thought i admit 😀
Do children children still make wishes on dandelions 😁🥰
Nice
In Lebanese cuisine we actually have a dish that’s pretty much boiled dandelions, known as hendbeh. Probably my most hated Lebanese dish
Dandelions forever being the best plant
I didnt even know you can eat them in the first place. All this time ive been surrounded by food
Love me some Dandelion. UK equivalent of Root Beer is Dandelion & Burdock. Best soda flavour.
Video ends: spits out dandelion seeds 🥴
he stole my idea. just kidding.
Similar concept with cattail seeds I think?
Very cool.

The roots if boiled are good for cancer
Cuidado al hingerir , LLERVAS AUNQUE SEAN NATURALES .
Well you can live out there forever then buddy because I can't eat that s***
For everyone else, there is Burger King 👑
Thank you.
Dandelion is a very versatile plant, the root makes a very good coffee substitute, as good as commercial instant coffee in my opinion, and the leaves and flowers are good for salads too and packed with good nutrients
Except dandelions don't grow in the wild…
Cute
❤❤❤❤❤🎉

mmm kinda look like dill.
Completely useless to eat in a survival situation, actually detrimental. Contain no nutrition and only plant alkaloids which your body will have to detox. Just because you can eat something and not be acutely poisoned, does not mean it gives you any benefits.
I was thinking maybe you were going to make tea with them
ok fakt, że masz zapalniczkę twoje szanse na przeżycie nierealistycznie wzrosły
Genius!! I never thought about burning them!
Cool! Is it a nutty flavor?
Dandelion tea. We used to think were so cool as kids. We also used to eat honey suckles, cane juice, and clovers.
Thank you
Do not! Eat any wild dandelion in america they all have been poinoned
Great video dude. Love the bit when u set them all on fire 😃
I use to eat the yellow dandelions out in our backyard and I must tell you… idk I was weird
Dandelion Tea
We have a drink in UK made from Dandelion and Burdock. So much nicer than coke
Il faut pas non plus donner certaines idées aux pyromanes…
À propos d'idée… Tu sais pas que dans les champs il y a plein de lapins?
I didnt know those white puff-weeds mixed among the wildflowers in early spring are they that turn into dandelions. I did know that dandelions seeds and flowers are edible, however.
I cant eat those, so I resorted to eating pinecones since their my favorite
