Often brewed as a coffee sub-substitute, the
roots of Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) can also be used as an ingredient in root beer.
The cleaned, raw roots can also be sliced into salads or cooked and added to other
vegetables. The taproot is white on the inside and dark brown on the outside and grows up
to 6 inches long. The plant first appeared in the 10th century journals of Arabian
physicians.
By the 16th century, the British considered Dandelion a valuable
herbal plant and it has held a distinguished place among European herbalists for
centuries. When the whole plant is used, Dandelion will work as a natural dye and turn a
fabric a deep magenta.
