use :

Dandelions are native to Eurasia and were artificially introduced to America and Australia. Because it grows so vigorously and thrives in its new home, few people remember that it is not a local organism. Urban residents generally regard it as a weed and go to great lengths to remove dandelions for the beauty of their gardens or lawns.

But dandelions were introduced elsewhere because they have many uses. It can be used as food or medicinal herb. The young dandelions in early spring are a traditional wild vegetable. There are now domesticated ones that are much larger than the wild ones. Young dandelions can be eaten cold, cooked in soup or stir-fried. The old ones can be eaten, but they are more bitter. Dandelions, which are not bitter, can also be mixed with meat to make dumpling fillings, and the taste is similar to that made with watercress. Europeans used dandelion flowers to make wine in the Middle Ages. Dandelion leaves contain a lot of vitamin A and vitamin C. Bees also often visit dandelions to collect pollen and honey.

Dandelion is a Chinese herbal medicine. "Compendium of Materia Medica" records: "Dandelion is mainly used to treat breast abscesses in women. Drinking the juice after boiling it in water or sealing it can eliminate the symptoms immediately. It can also eliminate food poisoning, disperse stagnant qi, clear away heat poisoning, transform food poisoning, eliminate malignant swelling, tuberculosis, and carbuncle."

After being roasted and ground into powder, it can be used to make tea, which is said to relieve the stomach and aid digestion when drunk before meals. It can be purchased in health food stores, but there is no scientific evidence to prove this effect.
