Sunday, May 7, 2017 Do you know how wonderful dandelions are? It pains me to think that most people try to eradicate them. They are packed full of vitamins minerals and other nutrients. They provide a liver cleanse and are a very rich source of beta-carotene which we convert into vitamin A. They are also rich in vitamin C, fiber, potassium, iron, calcium, magnesium, zinc, and phosphorus. It’s a good place to get B complex vitamins, trace minerals, organic sodium, and even some vitamin D too. Our alpacas instinctively know this and it’s the first thing they look for to eat when they go into a new area. Smart! Since we haven’t used weed killer here it’s very safe for them to eat all the dandelions we have. And so they shall! Happy Sunday!
Photo of the day: Stella will make sure all this yellow disappears before she leaves the area.
Looks like I’ll have to open the gate to the front yard soon!
