Benefits of Dandelion Root Tea
You know those spiky-leaved weeds with bright yellow flowers shooting up from the center that are growing in your grass? Well, they could be dandelions, and it turns out they have some pretty cool health perks! Dandelion is thought to support the liver as well as the digestive and urinary systems. Dandelion root is bitter, meaning it can help kickstart the digestive process (more enzymes and juices to better absorb food!). And it’s also rich in a type of fiber called inulin, which can help support a healthy gut microbiome (and more). Also cool? When roasted, dandelion root develops a deep, earthy flavor reminiscent of coffee!
Best Dandelion Tea
When looking for dandelion tea that makes a good coffee replacement, our favorites are products with roasted (vs. raw) dandelion root (vs. leaves) and those that also include chicory root. Here are our top picks:
1st Place: Teeccino Dandelion Dark Roast – has a very convincing coffee flavor that might fool someone into thinking they’re drinking coffee! 2nd Place: Sip Herbals – slightly more herbal in flavor, but with nice roasted notes — a great option for those wanting wholesome ingredients 3rd Place: Dandy Blend – third place, but still very tasty and reminiscent of coffee!
