minus-squareSpaceDogslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·1 year agoDandelions are actually delicious. I’ve had dandelion tempura before and it was the best.
minus-squareComradeSaladlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 year agoBut yeah, that’s a tempura. Meaning it’s cooked. No one is going to be eating dandelions raw like they do bananas.

Plus making the salad is still “cooking”, and takes time, as opposed to the seconds it takes to peel a banana. I’m not anti-dandelion, and it makes sense as part of a balanced diet. But internet point is mainly that it’s not as yummy or convenient as a banana.
