Dried Dandelion leaves

[rachelchambers87]

My chins love these and I have been giving them a small handfull a day because I want to wean them off the one raisin/dried fruit that I had been given but have been tokd is too much. However, it occured to me, should these leaves be limited?

You need to limit it to just a pinch! Maybe 2.5 mls (1/2 teaspoon) of crushed or maybe two to three whole dried leaves a day would work without any detrimental effects. Dandelion leaves work as a diuretic and too much could cause a problem. It's a safe treat, but like any other treats moderation is important.
