Dandelion greens are high in inulin and pectin, which are soluble fibers that may help your body feel full longer, assist with weight control and maintain optimal cholesterol levels. These greens also contain vitamins C and B6, thiamin, riboflavin, calcium, iron (crucial for generating red blood cells), potassium (to help regulate heart rate and blood pressure), magnesium and manganese Dandelion greens also give the body 112 percent of the daily requirement of vitamin A, as an antioxidant carotenoid, which is particularly good for the skin, mucous membranes and vision. A flavonoid called zeaxanthin (together with lutein, another carotenoid) may help shield the retina from ultraviolet rays and subsequent damage, while carotenoids like alpha-carotene and beta-cryptoxanthin may help lower the risk of lung and mouth cancers.
