I learned a few things that I hadn't yet gleaned from Green Deane from eattheweeds.com. It's a great site. He also has YouTube videos that help identify edibles. Great article, thank you!

Sorry, but that seems to be what wild food writers say when they can't think of another use. I've seen a lot of very tasty wild foods passed up or ruined because they're "just a coffee substitute". With dandelion roots, scrape them clean, then treat them like skinny white carrots. They cook up nice and tender in a stew. (I'm sure carrots could also be "roasted, dried, and then ground for a coffee substitute", but I find them tastier as is) Sorry, pet peeve. Great article otherwise! “The root can be roasted, dried, and then ground for a coffee substitute.”
