❓ Rapid-Fire FAQ
Where can I find dandelion greens? Many larger grocery stores or health food stores carry them in the produce section. You can also find them at farmers’ markets.
Can I use the dandelions from my yard? I’d advise against it unless you are 100% certain they haven’t been treated with pesticides or herbicides. Store-bought is the safest bet.
It’s too bitter! What do I do? Add more sweet fruit! A few more peach slices, the other half of the banana, or even a pitted date can help. Next time, just use fewer greens.
