Today after going to the doctor, I went for a little walk around my backyard and was surprised to see that he has a young chicory. Dandelion is a perennial plant that develops a strong, spindle-shaped root in the soil from which toothed rosette-shaped leaves grow. Dandelion or green chicory bloom from spring to autumn, and the root and leaves and even the flower can be used in the diet. The leaves are best eaten before flowering or in early spring because it is the tastiest. Green chicory contains a variety of vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals. Beta-carotene and other carotenoids were isolated, followed by xanthophyll, chlorophyll, vitamins C and D, and many B-complex vitamins, choline, iron, silicon, magnesium, sodium, potassium, zinc, manganese, copper, and phosphorus. For a wild chicory salad, you only need to bend over while walking. And you neither plowed nor dug. I prepare it for a salad, cook eggs, clean young chicory, pour olive oil over it, season it and that's it. There is also an unharvested bar, which is like new ha ha .... Today is a beautiful sunny day. I greet you all ..... Danas poslije odlaska doktoru, otišla sam malo prošetati po svojoj okućnici i iznenadila sam se kada sam vidjela da ima mladog radić. Maslačak je trajna biljka koja u tlu razvija snažni, vretenasti korijen iz kojeg izrasta nazubljeno lišće u obliku rozete. Maslačak ili zeleni radič cvate od proljeća do jeseni, a u prehrani se može koristiti i korijen i lišće, pa čak i cvijet. Lišće je za konzumaciju najbolje brati prije cvatnje odnosno u rano proljeće jer je tada najukusnije. Zeleni radič sadrži niz različitih vitamina, minerala i fitokemikalija. Izolirani su beta-karoten i drugi karotenoidi, zatim ksantofil, klorofil, vitamini C i D, i mnogi vitamini B kompleksa, kolin, željezo, silicij, magnezij, natrij, kalij, cink, mangan, bakar i fosfor. Za salatu od divljeg radiča samo se u šetnji treba sagnuti. A niste ni orali ni kopali. Ja ga, pripremam na salatu , skuham jaja, očistim mladi radić, prelijem maslinovim uljem , začinim i to je to. Ima još i neubranog šipka, koji je kao nov ha ha.... Danas je predivan sunčan dan. Pozdravljam vas sve.....

That is very healthy greens...
nice. time to time we have that weeds here too. is the root possible to eat too?
So is it Dandelion or Chicory? Perhaps there is a problem of translation into Russian. In the text, then Dandelion, then Chicory. And these are completely different plants in their qualities.
