2. Dandelion
Dandelions are abundant across most of North America, which means many of us remember running through fields of the weed during our childhoods. But few of us would have ever thought to actually pick and eat a dandelion.
Turns out we were making a big mistake. Not only are dandelions extremely healthy, but they make an excellent addition to salads, baked goods, even the average BBQ burger. That said, it’s absolutely crucial that harvesters avoid picking dandelions in any area where toxic sprays—designed to kill the weed—might have been sprayed, such as lawns or sports fields.
