So do you think this means I need to take the fuzz off the seeds?

I'd try making these but wouldn't it take hours to de fuzz a cup and a half of seeds?

1. This is probably something that calls for flower heads

before the fuzz appears, when they're dark yellow and the seeds have been set but have not matured.

I'd think the fuzzy seeds would be a bit hard and bitter to do much with.

Still, it's something I doubt I'd bother to do. If you really want muffins with the texture of fleas baked in, try chia seeds. They're available at a lot of health food stores.

2. ROFL

I have a plethora of blossoms this year both yellow and now fuzzies. I already use the greens a bit but have always wondered what I could do with the rest of the little buggers.

3. oh...Dandelion wine

my tea-totaling grandmother made this - doctor recommended a glass a night for her heart.
And she always followed his advice. ;-)
