Another new fad among greens—perhaps truly deserving of the term designer greens—is mesclun, which is increasingly available in supermarkets from sea to shining sea. It is a melange made up predominantly of the leaves of various baby lettuces, some bitter and some sweet; the mix can range from oak leaf and lamb's tongue lettuces to nasturtium petals. |

Dandelions are extremely rich in nutrients, far richer than any vegetable you can buy. They are extremely high in beta carotene as well as vitamin C. For B vitamins they pack a greater density of riboflavin and niacin than any common vegetable. They contain a legion of life-saving minerals, particularly iron, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and potassium. What's more, they provide both protein and essential fatty acids. |
James A. Duke, Ph.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Add a couple of handfuls each of finely chopped cabbage, dandelion greens, stinging nettle greens, parsley, pigweed and purslane. (You'll need to wear gloves when harvesting stinging nettle greens, but the leaves lose their sting when the plant is cooked.) Simmer until the greens soften slightly.
Season to taste with salt and pepper and any other seasonings that appeal to you. Remove the fish bones before serving. Serve as a vegetable/herb soup topped with avocado slices and black pepper. Or use it as a stock for even heartier bean soups. |

Wrinkles
Remember when your mom used to say "Don't scrunch up your face, or it'll stay that way"? Well, she was right. Over the years, your skin develops a "memory" for your most common facial moves, including squinting, frowning and raising your eyebrows. The result, sorry to say, is wrinkles.
Other things cause wrinkles, too. |

See book keywords and concepts |  They are native leeks with leaves resembling those of lily-of-the-valley and bulbs looking a lot like scallions, while their earthy flavor is a curious mixture of garlic, leek, and dandelion greens. The best time to harvest ramps is between the end of March to the middle of May; after that the leeks grow so strong in flavor that they can, quite literally, overwhelm the taste buds and knock the brain into a momentary stupor!
If you've ever eaten raw garlic or onions, then you know all about the odor that remains on your breath. |

AS HOMELY AS A MESS OF TOADS
My season for dandelions begins weeks before the first familiar yellow blossom explodes on the lawn, while the landscape still presents a lifeless monochrome of mud, bark, rock, and dry grass. But the dirt has softened underfoot and the exhalations of soil microbes perfume the air. It's time to harvest dandelions. | | Use Fresh commercial or foraged dandelion greens (early spring) with a vinaigrette make an excellent salad alone or with other garden greens. If leaves are foraged after the plant blossoms, parboil them to reduce their bitter flavor. From late fall to very early spring, use the bittersweet root as you would a carrot, in stir-fries, soups, or simply sauteed with an onion and garlic. Or use either the root or greens—fresh or dried—in combination with other herbs for medicinal tea.
Buying/Foraging Dandelion cultivars are bred to be more tender and less bitter than the wild plant. |
Dr. Cass Ingram

Fishing
This is one of the easiest types of all foraging. Virtually everyone knows how to fish. The nice thing about fishing is that anything you catch is edible as long as it is from relatively unpolluted water. Prepare basic fishing gear with reliable artificial lures just in case food sources run scarce. Remember, bait, such as worms, amphibians, and insects, can always be found.
To catch fish, everyone knows that the proper gear is required. |

Other nutrients found in dandelion include the B-complex vitamins as well as vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin K, and calcium. Choline, a relative of the B-vita-min family is also found in relatively high amounts in dandelion. This nutrient is important for preventing and treating a fatty liver, and it also serves as an aid in bile production.
The chemical constituents of dandelion lend additional healing properties. |

Calcium is abundantly provided in a varied whole foods diet. However, our calcium reserves can be depleted by overconsumption of dairy and meat; consumption of refined flours, grains, salt, and sweeteners; and a sedentary lifestyle. |
Gary Null
See book keywords and concepts |  So are whole grain cereals, dried beans, eggs, and fresh leafy green vegetables like turnip greens, broccoli, collards, dandelion greens, kale, mustard greens, cabbage, and cauliflower.2 Salmon, heart, and kidney are other good sources. And for some real B-boosters, try adding wheat germ, rice bran, and brewer's or nutritional yeast to your diet!
Two things to remember about these B-rich foods: first, if you cook them improperly, you may unwittingly be tossing those valuable B vitamins down the drain. For example, boiling your fresh vegetables will leach out their rich supply of B vitamins. | | Adding a mixed salad of lettuce, dandelion greens, carrots, tomatoes, and alfalfa sprouts would give you an almost completely balanced meal.
If you do plan vegetarian meals in a way that compensates for missing amino acids, you can easily eat a nutritionally sound diet. This has been confirmed by a number of studies sponsored by eminent authorities, including the Beth Israel Hospital Committee and the National Academy of Science.32 Even pregnant mothers and growing children can get sufficient protein from a vegetarian diet according to Dorothy Lane and M. G. Hardinge. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Dandelion is rich in potassium, which makes it an ideal diuretic as it does not leach potassium form the body as diuretics tend to do. dandelion greens are also very rich in vitamin A, and are an excellent salad ingredient. Dandelion root has been used for centuries as a laxative, tonic, and diuretic, and in treating liver, gallbladder, and kidney conditions. Its extracts are used in modern pharmaceutical preparations for these properties. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Watercress, beet greens, arugula, radicchio, dandelion greens, purslane, and even parsley can liven up a salad.
Choose several different greens for your salad so you'll have a good contrast of tastes and textures. Watercress, baby spinach, and curly kale, for instance, are a tasty trio.
Still, you can ruin a good green salad quickly by drowning it in a fatty dressing. Be sure not to use too much dressing. One tablespoon is enough to dress greens for four. Here are some ideas to keep your salad low in calories. |

Sprouted grains are also recommended. Five days a week give meat or fish, one day milk and cereals only, and one day very little food in order to rest the digestive system. |

• Echinacea root tincture is said to have an inhibiting effect on recurrence if taken in small doses (3-5 drops daily) for long periods of time (3-6 months).
• Eliminating saturated and polyunsaturated fat from the diet, and reducing total fat intake sharply reduces risk of recurrence. For every 1 percent increase in fat consumed above daily needs, the risk of recurrence rises 10 percent, say researchers at the National Cancer Institute. |
