Dandelion Sprouting Experiment

  • Objective: to find out if dandelion seeds are reliable as sprouting seeds (making free and abundant superfood all year)
  • Method:
    • Collect mature seeds just before they blow off in the wind
    • Put in freezer for 5 days or more (to make them think winter has arrived)
    • Using standard sprouting methods, check how long it takes for half the seeds to sprout
  • Literature: 50% of Dandelion seeds sprout in the second week after 5 days in freezer [1]
