remember as a kid running around eating dandelions until I was kinda full, good times
Love it haha you were ahead of the culinary trend
Same, clovers too
Lmao, until you were full?? 😂
bro your icon made me hit my monitor XD
Bro's pfp is devious
In the Czech Republic this is considered as a very good medicinal plant, i was very suprised to learn most people from foreign countries considered this as an inedible weed, you can make tons of stuff with these, (as you did in this video) such as a syrup simmilar to honey!
Awesome! Cool to know thanks! Maybe I’ll have to try the syrup next
Their an invasive species in North America lol
@@honkhonk8009the same companies that own week killers own companies that make heart medication. Dandelions are known for heart health benefits. Put two and two together, Sherlock.
@honkhonk8009 If so, turn that negative into a positive & help feed your community or family with delicious, nutritious food!🤗
P.S. I'm actually a little giddy because I appreciate good grammar & you correctly put "an" instead of "a" before a vowel, which very few ppl know to do!👌😁
they were brought over to America as a medicinal plant by the pilgrims
**Disclaimer**
If you are going to do the same, and eat dandelions make sure you dont eat the ones near big roads or cities, as they may contain a bunch of chemistry and stuff that is deadly to a human. It is better to find a forest that is not very popular and offtrail js to be safe!
Yup definitely! 🙌🏻
Not the chemistry
also not if you have pest controll
I always knew chemistry was evil!

Haha ya legit! The ultimate hack
But the apartments don't have dandelions
LITERALLY.
And it’s a good decaf version for coffee
I love the positive energy of your videos. When things go a little wonky, you just roll with it with a laugh and good humor. Thanks for giving the world a little bit of your sunshine ☀
Thanks for such a thoughtful and kind comment! So appreciate you watching and supporting 🙌🏻😄
these videos are so slow-paced and calm. i love how they're not over-edited like a lot of other videos on youtube. you just earned a new sub 👍
Thanks! Appreciate you watching and for the support! Welcome aboard 😄🙌🏻
I remember collecting dandelion flowers for my grandma for her to make dandelion- honey and coffee :)
Awesome! I’ll have to try making honey next time!
My mum makes dandelion syrup that you mix with water and drink. it's pretty sweet
Awesome! Maybe I’ll have to try that next!
@@itsConnorCreatesI’m gonna watch it
I have been foraging plants for years now, i highly recommend making sure you get your dandelions from somewhere that hasnt been sprayed with any oest or herbicides and isn't next to a busy road way!
I loved this video of you are serious about dandilions i love the stems! sauted in an omelette or fresh on salad, they are like green beans, kinda. Very good though.
Some other prarrie pesto canidates include lambs quarter, common plantain, stinging nettles, wild mustard, wild garlic, and even finding some good pecans or roaated acorns for a pine nut substitute.
Once again always make sure you forage away from roads and spray sights, that stuff can be bad for your gut health (probably wont kill you but its best practice)
Awesome! Thanks for the helpful info and tips 🙌🏻😄
You shouldn’t eat plantain leaves, bad advice. Use the flowers as a poultice, sure
@@humansomewhat2167 they would totally make an awsome poultice! That and velcro weed together would work really well. I still eat the leaves though as to me they have a very satisfying flavor and when they are pickled they remind me of grape leaves. That's just why they are one of my personal favorites .
I guess it could be fun to try and make cord with them since they are so fibrous
Sad they spray all over where I live 😢
My great grandma was really into dandelions back during the depression. Sge made me dandelion jelly when I was a kid.
I’ll have to try making jelly next time! 🙌🏻
Anyone who’s thinking about trying this: be careful, dandelions are safe but they can be made unsafe by the fertilizers or pesticides that have probably been used at some point on the land you’re getting them from
Yes good point!🙌🏻
Yes, Thanks for your positive attitude and the good vibes.
Appreciate you watching and supporting!
I've heard about dandelion coffee, but never even thought of turning them into pesto and fritters! I'm so gonna try this!
Now you know! Your dandelion cuisine options have expanded 🙌🏻 lemme know how it goes when you try it!
This video feel like spring time in the best way possible
Love hearing that! 🙌🏻🤗
In early spring, the young crowns of dandelion can be gathered before leaves get 6" long or so (before flower buds form). These are much less bitter than older greens. They are famously made into salad with a hot bacon vinaigrette by Pennsylvania Dutch.
Okay awesome! Thanks for the info/tip!
That is the most eye beautiful dandelion field/view I have ever seen
The dandelions say thanks for the compliment
We ate them as greens as kids, but my favorite use of dandelions is dandelion wine! It's delicious and opening a bottle in the winter is like opening a bottle of summer sunshine.
Awesome! I’ll definitely have to try making that next time! 🍷
My grandma's sure wasn't...and it had decades to age. We had more fun joking about it than the drinking would ever provide.
Your lawn looks beautiful with the bright green grass
😄🙌🏻 my lawn says thank you
It's a good day when Connor uploads longform. Love the scenery!
Glad to contribute to your day! Thanks for your ongoing support 🙌🏻🤗
From Kashmir. Have been consuming dandelion leaves (dried) with rice for past 20 years. It's a part of our cuisine in winters.
Awesome! I’ll have to try eating it that way sometime, sounds great 🙌🏻
I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this, but: Please don't let your dogs eat garlic. It gives them renal failure. Also onions, chocolate, and raisins.
Okay good to know thanks
Grapes as well
and seeds (in fruit)
I have very low anemia, been taking vitamins but for some reason my body doesn’t really retain the iron. I looked up more natural iron sources and came across dandelions. Thank you for trying all these recipes or ways I can prepare them so I can try and see how my iron is in about a month. Again, thank you!
I would try eating beef
Yeah what the other guy said. Red meats will let you retain iron easier.
Hope the dandelion dishes worked out though!
I love your videos and your family! You brighten my day my recovery from a concussion and I want you to know that I am thankful for that :))
So nice hearing that! Thank you for the support! Hope you keep recovering and feel better!
Me and my grandma used to go outside her back yard and pick the stems of them. She'd take them inside, cut a slit down the middle and fried them in a butterd pan. One of the best snacks I've ever eaten.❤️
Woah nice that sounds really good actually!
Loved it, so creative, fun. And love your energy and everything was beautifully put together (editing, music)
You get two thumbs up and 5/5, 10/10 for this

Just found your channel and i’m already binging your videos, keep up the great work!
Aaah thanks so much!! Stoked to hear that! Appreciate you 🙌🏻😄
Free grocery store, yup. I just started foraging and have been all natural salads , teas, greens and salves. Amazingly natural lettuce, greens and herbs are so nutrient rich unlike store bought.
Awesome! Yes so true
Your such an underated youtuber i love your videos man keep up the good work
Thank you!! So appreciate your support and encouragement 😄🙌🏻
In Greece we gather them from the mountains when they are without flowers but we don't uproot them. Just use a knife to cut the fresh segment with the green leaves, they will grow back again later or in the next year, this way we don't destroy the plant. Then we clean the leaves from dirt or dried leaves and boil them in a lot of water (with or without salt). Then we eat them with extra virgin olive oil and freshly squeezed lemon, bread and maybe a side dish of fried potatoes. But my favorite is the water from the boiling, it's like a herb tea that we add salt and lemon. I could drink the whole thing in one evening, tons of it! Helps with keeping warm in winter nights and keeps you super hydrated in case you have cough or cold, some vitamin C from the lemon juice. It's considered a remedy.
Awesome! Thanks for all the info! 🙌🏻
Now it makes sense why dandelions give the saturation effect in Minecraft.
Haha exactly!
I never thought the little yellow dandelions can ever turn into something as great as this you did amazing 🤩
Thanks for watching and supporting 😄🙌🏻
Man I love your videos and the editing style. I’m honestly surprised you don’t have a million subscribers by now
Thanks so much!! Would be a dream to hit that milestone one day!
Just you wait lol
You can fry anything and it tastes good. Thanks for the ideas.
Haha ya true!
Dandelion coffee sounds like Starbucks is taking notes
Haha legit! What if it shows up as a new item on their menu
Can't be worse than Olive Oil coffee.
I'm not gonna lie that can actually be true😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅 but there's a very small chance of will appear on their menu, but that is a good comment too bring up
The best thing is how MEDICINAL they are!
Ya pretty amazing all the benefits 🙌🏻
You can use every part of this plant and it's healthy and tasty and for free? I'm sure, the goverment will ban it soon 🤭
Exactly! Haha hope not 😆😅
no they want you to eat this stuff, that's why they are trying to push people away from eating meat 😅😅
@weo1...: Wrong! They want you to buy cheap unhealthy food that cost a lot, so THEY earn much money and WE d!e before getting pension.
how would the government ban a flower 💀 really sounding like a communist having this little trust in the government 😂
You know what else is healthy and free? Walking. But everyone uses cars
I love the flowers caramelised or steeped in tea with lemon and honey, and the root to make a coffee substitute with adding come carob, also macerate the flowers with garlic in oil, great oil for food and a liver tonic.
He's making everyones dream as a little kid come true with those potions we made with the neighbors out side
😅🙌🏻 love that
We make dandelion fritters for summer parties. They're a delicious and unique bit of whimsy to bring to a gathering. This was a great find to expand our use of them!
Awesome! Love it!
0:22 theres me..
Lol
😆👋🏻
Dandelions were originally brought over to North America by European settlers as a food source, actually :’)
As far as I know, eating the leaves as “dandelion greens” is the most common consumption method nowadays!
Woah interesting! Cool info to know thanks!
My brain: Oh Look! A dandelion, Must be the last one of the season
Great reference! 10/10
Me too
I used to pick dandelions before they flowered with my great grandmother in the late seventies and eighties. If I remember correctly you are supposed to pick them before they flower, it stops them from tasting bitter. She would then boil them in a pot of water like you would greens. Also if I had a cold she would cut an onion in half and place it on a plate of sugar to draw out the onion juice and I would then drink it. I can't remember if it actually helped or not.
Thanks for the tip! Awesome!
wow, sounds great and looks delicious. Thank you, Connor!
😄👨🏻🍳
i’ve made tea, salads, and sautéd the leaves. i want some better ways so glad your video came across my feed, excited to watch
Oohh nice I gotta try the sautéd version! Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching and supporting 😄
The garnish😂 killed truly legit man gosh im making these later today.
Haha glad you liked it! 😄🙌🏻
Dandelion flower jam is also REALLY good. It tastes like honey that actually belongs on bread as spread.
Awesome! I’ll have to try that!
The Big Y near me actually sells giant dandelion leaves right along with all the other leafy produce 😂
Woah that’s awesome! Love it!
I love how creative you are.
Thanks!! I appreciate you watching and supporting my videos!😄🙌🏻
Well according to Minecraft Dandelions are a good source of saturation, who says games don't help you in real life.
Haha ya legit! Good point
You legitimately already have a dandelion farm, that field is BEAUTIFUL, but then, so is your property & home.
😄🙌🏻
You've got me looking at the weeds in my yard in a whole new light. Great job Connor!
Love it haha! Thanks bro!

This looks so fun, I love the garden videos! Really inspiring
Dude u are so underrated. I believe that you will be successful in this youtube
Thank you!! Appreciate you and the encouragement! 🤗
In Greece we boil the greens till soft, strain and add oil and some lemon juice. Personally I like them as a side dish to fried anchovies or fish in general. It's an acquired taste. The wild variation can be more bitter, the italian variation is far sweeter.
Awesome! Sounds pretty good!
I got so exited when I saw you posted another video!!
Thanks!! Appreciate you watching another one
i used to make dandelion coffee in middle school and high school. It smells so good! I'd definitely recommend it to anyone willing to try.
Awesome!
Your videos are absolutely chill! Love from Vietnam
Thank you! Appreciate you watching and supporting! Love from Canada
Hey, I loved your videos on building furniture and fun cool things and I wanted to ask, where do you get these awesome project ideas bro!?
Someone who make an entertaining vid its giving paradise for him
The most relaxing thing i watched
So happy to hear it! Thanks for the support
I remember when I was younger, I would harvest the bitter dandelion roots to put in my sister's soup. Sometimes I would add the bitter leaves to salads.
Love it haha
It's not bad in soup and salad I started doing it last spring and I was mind blown
This man is literally living in the place of my dreams!
Thankful indeed 🙌🏻
A multipurpose flower. Dandelion root can also be dug up from the ground, roasted and ground into a coffee substitute. This was an old Finnish trick when coffee was not available during the post-war shortage. I have never tasted this dandelion "coffee" myself, but according to what is written, it really tastes like a real coffee when roasted and brewed correctly.
Currently in the process of growing dandelions. Hoping to be able to have a full farm of them someday cause there's so many uses that people just throw away
Awesome! That’s an amazing idea, I love it 🙌🏻
Roasted dandelion root tea is one of my most favorite teas. I especially love to sweeten it with date syrup.
good ideas, Shure I will give it a try. 😄
Glad to hear it! Join the dandelion eating movement haha!
“Oh look, a dandelion must be the last one of the season.”

Oh great it's the Kingdom Hearts mobile game all over again
Haha I haven’t heard of that game but now I kinda wanna play it! 😅🙌🏻
Pesto is good because it's mostly normal food ingredients that we already know are incredibly good. Fried flowers are fried, you fry anything in batter it will taste nice.
But the raw flower and the root tea being somewhat good is actually awesome, I need to try that :D
Ya you totally should! 🙌🏻 thanks for checking out the video
@@itsConnorCreates thank the algo, hehe. Great work on production too btw, quality work!
@@Makujah_ thank you!! :)
Bravo! You did it again! A beautiful, uplifting, creative, informative video. With no innuendos, just clean informative education. I can no longer drink coffee since I began purifying my body for health. So I drink a dandelion and chickory drink called Dandy Blend. It does have body like coffee, making it satisfying to me. Now, If I had your dandelions, I'd see my "grocery Store" also has a pharmacy. I try the pain reliever formula, as I used to get Wild Lettuce as they call it for pain, and they also make it into many formulas as those weeds are really our friends. Who'd have known? Boy, this world is upside down. Thank you for holding your side up. Much Love
Thanks so much! Really appreciate your kind words and support 😄 and awesome I had no clue about that, I’ll have to try the Dandy Blend! 🙌🏻
I doubt you'll think they're tasty the first time. but they are beyond legit. So good for you. So much food.
1:18 what a view!!!!
😄🙌🏻
Thanks man, i wish i knew this earlier because when i made it myself it tasted just the way you described it as. Also keep up the good work i love your videos and the beautiful nature you show as as your background ❤
Thanks for watching and supporting! Appreciate you 😄🙌🏻
you can turn you recipes into business
An intriguing challenge haha! Or a seasonal restaurant that only serves dandelion dishes!
Some weeks ago, I made myself a dandelion flower tea.... it wasn't good, but it was drinkable.
It tasted very closely to pasta water
I did not remove the greenery behind the flowers and it wasn't bitter. I used a lot of flowers to make the tea. I wanted the full flavour.
I’ll have to give that a try haha maybe 😆
I'm gonna try to eat the whole thing -connor creates 2024
Famous words for sure
Learned that as a kid. But I only ever ate the Leaves in a Salad. Gotta try the Flowers. Experiment a little with them in the kitchen. Got to say it. Your Videos are really motivating to do more on my own again. ❤🔥
Awesome! Love hearing that! Thanks so much 😄🙌🏻
DOGS CANNOT EAT GARLIC WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!
Yep that one little piece took out that dog. It was planned all along
@@blazedr13ok thats kinda funny but GARLIC, ONION, GRAPES AND ESPECIALLY CHOCOLATE IS A BIG NONO!!!
Thankfully he’s still thriving 😄
The leaves are traditionally salad food. They were introduced into the USA by British immigrants who brought them for salad.
Interesting! Thanks for the info! 🙌🏻
Dandelion leaves, good olive oil, balsamic vinegar..heaven!
Woah sounds good! Nice and simple too! I’ll have to try that one next 🙌🏻
In greece they cook it in olive oil and serve with some lemon on top it doesn't taste that good but it really does make you feel healthier
Nice haha most things that are healthy don’t taste the best usually 😅😆 I do kinda want to try that recipe!
Ahhhh this brings me back to elementary school. I used to eat dandelions raw but then got curious and decided to look it up. I made this exact fritter recipe with my family once.
Love it haha glad it brought back some nostalgia
I made a bottle of dandelion tea last Spring for the first time, it was delicious!! Definitely making it as soon as possible again! Taking care of the lawn in the meantime lol
Can't wait to see all you get up to in this vid~ 👍✨
Awesome! I’ll have to try that next season 🙌🏻
From what I have read, you want to eat the roots from late fall to early winter because they are far less bitter.
Okay good to know thanks!
How long was that extension cord? What gage was it as well. It sounded like both blenders motors were struggling. You may have been experiencing a pretty decent amount of voltage drop my friend. Thank you for the awesome video!❤
Pretty long haha okay good point! 🙌🏻😅
You can also eat acacia flowers. For the taste, it's sweet and I used to go around with my cousins when we we're younger picking them. If anyone's concerned about bees on them, don't worry, bees are clean
