Small Business Idea - Selling DANDELIONS for $180 hr? & How to Make Dandelion Coffee at Home.

Is it possible to earn up to $180 hr. selling dandelions as a small business? Yes, and we'll show you how to make Dandelion Coffee at home. This is a virtually unknown niche market so stay tuned and you can be one of the first in what may one day be a billion dollar industry.

Gourmet Dandelion root sells for an average of $30 a pound. Here is a listing for 2 kilos for $209. Here is 75 grams for $10, they are completely sold out. So people are drinking dandelion tea, but it really hasnt hit rockstar status yet. I will tell you once you drink it, you will want to drink it all the time. Its ridiculously good and extremely healthy, and the best coffee substitute I have ever had. Not only that the scientific studies are quite amazing, which is why I think dandelions may be the next huge superfood.

This study is listed in Pubmed - they tested it on cancer cells and found "Aqueous DRE induced programmed cell death (PCD) selectively in 95% of colon cancer cells, irrespective of their p53 status, by 48 hours of treatment" also "oral administration of DRE retarded the growth of human colon xenograft models by more than 90%" Further studies illustrate that dandelion root extract is actually able to selectively target sick cells while preserving the good cells. Other studies are just as amazing, including dandelion root extract increased the generation of new skin cells, which could slow the aging process, and dandelion extract could help with acne. Another study shows improvement of Type 2 diabetes. These are all real studies from real scientists and we've included the links below. There are many studies on the health benefits of dandelion root and if you remember Acai and Goji berries? Companies sold billions based on a few shaky health claims.
This business could be started small, selling in flea markets, locally to restaurants who would offer your local gourmet dandelion coffee, restaurants love having local options especially a niche product, or sell online direct to consumers, and possibly scale into a million dollar National company wholesaling globally. If you start small you could pick them locally, or buy in bulk, more in a minute. If you do pick just make sure you pick only from places that have not been sprayed with toxic chemicals, and if its not your own land ask permission. If you dont want to pick You can also buy bulk dandelion powder and root from places like Alibaba. Buys large amounts and sell in smaller bags as a branded product. Dandelions are everywhere. nobody wants them. Drive in the country there are fields of dandelions. Tons of dandelion root. I read a post from a professional grower stating that one experienced person can pick 5-7 pounds of dandelions per hour. At $30 a pound averaging 6 pounds per hour that would be $180 per hour.

I found wholesale dandelion root available on Alibaba as low as $5-$8 a kilo, which is 2.2 pounds. If you recall the company we showed was selling it for over $200 a kilo. Thats a decent markup.

We have been making dandelion coffee for ages, trust me you will love it, here is how easy it is to pick and produce your own.

We're in a field behind my house that has never been sprayed and filled with wild dandelions I found the easiest way to pick them, and there may be better ways, is to take a fork, lift the entire soil and once loosened gently pull the root up not breaking it. This soil is very packed so you cant just pull them out. Gather the flower and roots and throw them in a bucket. Once your bucket is full, take the roots inside, cut off the flower tops, which are great for salad by the way, and soak and wash the roots in water. I find a salad spinner works well. Once they are done it looks like this. Now take the roots and put them through your food processor turning it into shreds. Once they are all shredded throw them on wax paper on a baking tray, they are quite wet so you need to dry them first before you roast on a lower heat around 220, check them very 20 minutes of so until fairly dry. Once dry bake them at between 320 and 400 until crisp and darker color, which will take between 20-40 minutes. Some stoves seem to run hotter than others. Once they are done they look crispy and like this, you can store them in a container it keeps a long time. We like to add it to the espresso machine, like you would regular coffee and add foamed almond milk and stevia and it tastes amazing. Or you can just use it like regular coffee

Quick review. 1. pick dandelions, 2. cut off leaves and wash roots 3. shred roots 4. dry low heat then bake high heat until crisp.
