basic information
Garnet stem dandelion, a variety of Cichorium intybus, is a leafy green with vibrant red stems and a slightly bitter flavor. In the kitchen, its tender leaves are used fresh in salads, adding a peppery bite, or sautéed with garlic and olive oil to mellow their bitterness. The roots can be roasted and ground as a coffee substitute, offering a nutty, earthy taste. Flowers may garnish dishes or be infused into syrups for a subtle sweetness.
