Dandelion leaves were considered to be one of the richest edible herbs of Hunza, but today people rarely notice them. I remember My grand Mother used to love them and would send me to collect leaves from the fields. We do not grow them, but we have a plant of plants near water channels and around our fields. People of Hunza were known for their healthy lives and most of the people lived for more than 100 years, so we can say that these herbs might have been a reason for the longevity of life in Hunza in past. It is considered to be one of the highest sources of vitamin A among culinary herbs containing  338% of vitamin A. It also is known for being the richest source of vitamin K which strengthen bones. The amount of vitamin K is 650% in dandelions. It also contains many other essential minerals and is a great source of nutrition during winters.

We, the new generation are so obsessed with unhealthy food. We have forgotten what our ancestors use to eat and live happily. 

Eat healthy, live longer!
