Is it safe to eat wild growing dandelions? As for cooking, I'm just going to boil them and add a little salt. Does that sound okay?

they taste like shit

It's safe. Might make you piss like crazy though

Be wary of where you get them from. Many school fields and other public lands will spray pesticides or herbicides on the grass to get rid of certain weeds and bugs, and they won't be the type of chemicals safe for food.

After boiling they taste okay. Boiling removes the bitterness.

also don't gather near roads - heavy metals from exhaust fumes are no good

Really? I tried once and they were still incredibly bitter even after boiling.

Yeah I used to snack on them as a kid. Just the flower part though

Eat some mustard greens like a normal poorfag.

just go to the food bank, dude
I think you can make tea with them but I doubt they have any nutritional value
