Dandelion leaves should be picked early in the spring because they are tender and less bitter at that time, making them more palatable for salads and culinary uses. Additionally, younger leaves are rich in nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and K, as well as minerals like calcium and iron. Harvesting them early also helps prevent the plant from flowering, which can make the leaves tougher and more bitter.
