"Dandelion greens are packed with nutrition and act as a detox for your kidneys and liver as well as being a natural diuretic. Dandelion greens also have more vitamin A, vitamin K, calcium and iron than even broccoli. Of course, you don't want to eat the pesticide laden greens from your yard, but those bought from an organic grocer are perfectly delicious."
Original is 4-5 servings
