I found them at a health food store in town. I've been looking for it forever! I was concerned that he wouldn't like it (he tends to be picky and has his favorites) but he gobbled it right up. :D

Just thought i'd share. It cost me about $2.99 and lasts about 2 weeks. It goes bad well before I use it all.

Same problem here (going bad before they're used up). Dandelions in salads are very good for you, too...:)

You can! Although, if you are gonna, I recommend buying them and not picking them. If you do pick your own, you want young tender ones. The older they are, the more bitter they are.
