By the time I usually think of harvesting dandelions, they have already turned bitter for the year. Not this year! A couple of days ago I pulled and cut the leaves from some dandelions in the yard, and mixed them with some fresh chives to make an excellent salad. It’s time to start thinking about fresh food from our yards. Spring has arrived. And eat those dandelion leaves while you can.

The most important goals of post-harvest handling are keeping the product cool, to avoid moisture loss and slow down undesirable chemical changes, and avoiding physical damage such as bruising, to delay spoilage.
