They are edible
All parts of the dandelion are edible. Uncooked leaves can be used in a salad. Some recommend the leaves be boiled for 5 minutes. The roots are edible, boil for 20/30 minutes or roast and grind into 'coffee'. Use the leaves in spring and the root in autumn. The flowers can be eaten, best when young or as buds. Dandelion wine is popular. In conclusion, beware of any plant that may have been sprayed with weed killer or an insecticide
