3. Food and tea. Dandelions are ridiculously common, and high in vitamins. They also don't taste half bad. You can use the leaves for salad, or boil it with a stew. They're a bit bitter, but they're good for you and you can find them pretty-much anywhere.
The roots can be dried, roasted and brewed into a tea called "dandelion coffee" which, while having no caffeine, is still a fine, hot beverage to have in the morning.
The flower petals can be used for flavor in dandelion wine, which you make the same as any other hooch, using the petals for flavor.
You can tell dandelions apart from other dandelion-looking plants by the flower stems. True dandelions have tall, hairless stems for each flower.
