If a weed helps detoxify the liver, cleanses the blood, lowers cholesterol, lowers blood pressure, aids digestion (heartburn), helps ease fluid retention (edema), improves bone health, bronchitis and upper respiratory infections, treats acne, worts and a multitude of other ailments... is it still considered a weed??
Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) is a common herb related to the sunflower family. We often pay them little attention until they're taking over our lawns, yet every part of this plant is full of nutrients and healing properties. If you can't bring yourself to go outside and pick weeds from your lawn, you can buy dandelion root teas bags and supplements nowadays and you may even find the greens for sale in some groceries.

All About Millet
Millet is one of the oldest foods known to humans and possibly the first cereal grain to be used for domestic purposes. It is mentioned in the Bible, and was used during those times to make bread. Millet was introduced to the U.S. in 1875, was grown and consumed by the early colonists like corn, then fell into obscurity. Only in recent years has it begun to make a comeback and is now becoming a more commonly consumed grain.
