Harvesting Dandelion
Dandelion root is a diuretic and cleansing/strengthening to the kidneys and liver. Harvest mature plant roots in the spring or fall when the ground is moist. Harvest roots from new plants anytime before they flower. Early morning or late day in the third quarter of the moon is best if you intend on storing. Soak roots to loosen soil and clean thoroughly. Cut them in quarters lengthways then dice. Lay between paper bags or sun dry to store.
