When dandelion is a little old but has not yet reached the flowering stage (the leaves turn from green to dark green), this part of dandelion is pulled up and dried, and enters the market of scented tea and health tea, and the price is not low. Generally, beautiful packaging can sell for more than 60 yuan a catty, and some are made into teabags for sale, and the price doubles.

Second, the dandelion in flowering period is not sensitized because of more pollen, but some people who are extremely sensitive to pollen cause physical discomfort.
Most dandelion flowers are yellow, because there are hundreds of inflorescences on a flower, and it has more pollen. For ordinary people, except for feeling that it has a particularly sweet fragrance, it will not be too uncomfortable; But if people are allergic to pollen, it will cause frequent vomiting and directly cause rhinitis. It is not only suitable for fresh dandelion, dry inflorescence, but also suitable for pollen.

Its pollen content can be generally understood as follows: generally, the pollen of a peach blossom can be climbed up by about 3 bees, and all the pollen can be climbed up, while a dandelion has about 6 flowers, but in terms of flower size, dandelion flowers are twice as small as peach blossoms. Therefore, it is best not to directly dry and drink this plant with high pollen when it blooms, otherwise it may make yourself or your friends allergic, and allergens are often easily overlooked.

However, dandelion in this period only reached the medical standard, using its whole grass. Most medicinal dandelions will be used for nephropathy, gallstones, hepatitis and so on.

Therefore, if it is only dandelion in seedling stage, it can be dried to make tea, but in other periods, don't sun it indiscriminately. Moreover, even in the seedling stage, there are many wild vegetables similar to dandelion, and there are many small poisons. Don't pick and choose unless you are extremely confident.
