Isn't spring a beautiful season？ Flowers of all colors and shapes can be seen everywhere． They make our world look and smell better． So， it is no surprise that people love flowers! Well…except for one﹣dandelions（蒲公英）!
In order to have a tidy garden， we try our best to kill all dandelions or dig them out﹣only to see these unwanted plants grow right back． But that's not bad because we have good reasons to leave them alone．
In fact， a 2014 study lists dandelions as one of the top 41 healthiest foods． Dandelions are full vitamins （维生素）K， A，E and C． They have long been used as medicine．
Another great thing about dandelions is that you can eat every part of them， either cooked or uncooked． You can also put flowers or roots （根） in hot water to make dandelion tea． Great! Nothing goes to waste!
Besides， dandelions are fun for kids! Pick the white top， close your eyes， make a wish and blow! If you blow all of it off in one breath， your wish will come true! This game is played all over the world．
Still unwanted plants？ Of course not! Dandelions are good for human health as well as our kitchen． They also provide kids with free toys! So next time when you are blowing them， blow harder ﹣you're helping this great plant grow in the wild， even if your own wish does not come true!
