Origin
In Chinese and Korean culture, the dandelion is widely recognized as a symbol of resilience, tenacity and perseverance because of the idea it is a plant that can endure adversity and harsh conditions and grow through cracks and rocky soil. It is associated with qualities like strength and determination. Dandelion imagery is commonly found in Chinese poetry, music, and visual arts. During the Victorian era, flowers were used to convey emotions and sentiments, and the dandelion represented happiness and an oracle of love.
Dandelion has been used in traditional medicine systems in Europe and North America for its potential to aid in digestion and liver health. The leaves of the Dandelion are originally green and used in French and broader European cuisine for its slightly bitter flavour and nutritional value. In French it’s called ‘Pis-en-Lit’.
