Other positive notes about this healthy vegetable include its impressive 1.48 protein gram content as well as almost 2 grams of dietary fiber.
There is minimal total fat in the greens, as is the case with almost all natural vegetables.
But on a surprising note - look at all that calcium contained therein! Over 100 grams in one cup of raw Dandelion Greens.
To place things into prospective, one cup of whole milk that is 3.25% milkfat contains 276 calcium milligrams.
And when these greens are part of a healthy salad mix, I'm likely to eat a lot more than a single cup.
