    Dandelion Greens is a cousin of the Chicory Greens, from the same tribe (Chicorieae), but Genus is different (Taraxacum). The leaves (called dandelion greens) can be eaten cooked or raw in various forms, such as in soup or salad. The leaves are high in vitamin A, vitamin C and iron, carrying more iron and calcium than spinach. Dandelion is diuretic (pissenlit in French).
