It's that time of year again: huge dandelion leaves with the pretty yellow flowers are sprouting from the ground. You can pick and process the wild herb - but you can find practical dandelion products in the shop all year round.
Medicinal plant, weed, salad - dandelion is pretty versatile. The colourful wild plant is wonderfully versatile. Here are a few examples.
1. the classic: rabbit food
Do you have a few hungry rabbits at home? Why don't you go and pick some fresh dandelions for them? They'll be delighted, because dandelion is not only a delicious treat for rodents, but thanks to its ingredients such as xanthophylls, tannins, bitter substances and vitamins A and C, it also strengthens the health of rabbits and co. However, you don't just have to put off your pets until May and June - when dandelions are in peak season and grow on practically every corner - you can treat them to this tasty treat at any time:

But it's not just rabbits whose mouths water at the topic of dandelions. The bitter substances contained in dandelions stimulate the metabolism and the production of digestive juices in dogs. You can rinse all parts of the plant once and then mix them coarsely chopped into your pet's food. If this is too much chopping work for you, simply leave it to the dog food manufacturers - they have long since discovered the benefits of this miracle plant:

2 Delicious: why not try dandelion!
A weed that you can eat: Whether as pesto, jam or in a salad, there are few foods that contain as many vital nutrients as fresh dandelion: vitamin C, vitamin A, magnesium, potassium and phosphorus, for example.
Here's a recipe for a delicious superfood salad:
- 100 grams of fresh dandelion leaves
- 5 radishes
- 1 carrot
Wash the dandelion and place in cold water for ten minutes. Chop the radishes and grate the carrot. Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl and season with a little oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. Was it delicious? You can find more recipes with this healthy superfood here:
3. dandelion as a medicine
Feeling full? Flatulence? Loss of appetite? The health-promoting effect of dandelion has been proven in various studies. Among other things, the medicinal plant contains bitter substances that benefit your bile and digestion. Secondary plant substances such as triterpenes, flavonoids and carotenes have an important influence on your metabolic processes. Why not try these miracle products:

4. beautiful with dandelion tea
Eatable, healthy and - you guessed it - good for your beauty too. Dandelion tea, for example, can give you firm skin: the vitamins A and C contained in dandelion have an antioxidant effect and stimulate cell regeneration, which in turn combats premature skin ageing. You can now collect fresh dandelion and pour boiling water over its leaves, roots or flowers and leave to infuse for around 15 minutes. For all other times, you can simply order tea from us:
5th "L" like reading: Adventures with July Dandelion
Rabbits love dandelions. And little Juli Löwenzahn is no exception. The stories about the courageous rodent by author Andreas H. Schmachtl are a hit with little bookworms: the brown and white spotted rabbit boldly and brazenly hops into every adventure, no matter how far-fetched it may seem, and takes his fans aged three and up on exciting journeys. A wonderful way to get your children interested in the versatile wild plant from an early age!
