Diabetics
Dandy Blend is sweetened primarily with fructose derived from the roasting of the dandelion and chicory roots. These plants store reserve food as inulin, a complex starch that is just a bunch of fructose molecules tied together with simple bonds. Roast them or freeze them enough, and these bonds break, releasing the fructose. No other sweeteners are added.    Back

PMS sufferers
The popular PMS Tea marketed by Traditional Medicinals is based on 500 mg of roasted dandelion root, and it has to be steeped for 10 to 15 minutes. Dandy Blend has 630 mg. of the dandelion/chicory combination (see “muscle building” above), and takes only a second to stir into a cup of water. Best of all, it is now available in single serving packets, so you can always have it with you when you need it.    Back

Dandelion and chicory both cleanse the liver and purify the blood, making this an ideal beverage during pregnancy and beyond.
