I’m gonna eat that motherfucker, so I need to be sure. Can birds, cats and dogs also eat them?
Edit: my cat sneaked into the room and ate a bit of a leaf, the same size I had tried myself yesterday. We dead, I’m typing from the afterlife. I tried uploading an actual photo of my plant but lemmy won’t let me.
I’ve made wine out of dandelions, and I have eaten the greens and used the roots both as a vegetable and roasted to make a tea. The greens are really bitter, but can be harvested early enough in their growth and with a technique of boiling and pitching the water that helps make them more palatable. Overall, dandelions are not the greatest food plant, even if they’re common where I am.
I don’t know enough about the flora in Brazil to be of much use there, but yeah - don’t eat lamb’s ear, that’s gross lol.
