Dandelion extract blocks SARS CoV-2 spike proteins and their variants...

The researchers used high molecular weight compounds taken from a water-based dandelion extract and put them to the test in human HEK293-hACE2 kidney and A549-hACE2-TMPRSS2 lung cells. The dandelion blocked the protein-to-protein interactions between the S1 sub unit of the spike protein and the human ACE2 cell surface receptor. This effect was also true against the spike protein mutations from the predominant variants in circulation, including the United Kingdom (B.1.1.7), South African (B.1.351) and Brazilian (P.1) variant.

Culinary Uses of Dandelion

"Here at the farm, we don’t mow them, we grow them. We eat many, and the rest we allow to go to seed for next years crop. Most people think we are crazy because we allow them to grow, but I don’t think they realize they are missing out on some wonderful wild… and free food."
