In Japan, white dandelion is held in high esteem. A white-flowered member of the dandelion family, this species, Taraxacum albidum, is specifically found growing wild in southern Japan. It is not considered an aggressive or weedy dandelion variety. Instead, it is celebrated in its native land as a useful food and medicine plant. Its delicately bitter leaves are lightly boiled into Ohitashi. The snow-white blooms are lightly battered and fried for tempura, and the long tap root is favored both for its culinary potential and its medicinal benefits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Tips:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japanese White dandelion is adaptable to most areas but grows best in a location that receives morning sun and part to full shade in the afternoon. This keeps the greens tender and mild. Regular watering is important but avoid waterlogging.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59511651762462,"sku":"HB283","price":3.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2280\/5022\/files\/dandelion_japanese_white.jpg?v=1782402736","url":"https:\/\/www.rareseeds.com\/products\/dandelion-japanese-white","provider":"RareSeeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
