Packed? A lot? In 100g of dandelion, how much vitamins & minerals do you think there are? I'd be surprised if it was more than 1 gram in total. It's more likely a lot less than 1%.
The fibre is the most beneficial component by mass by a huge margin.

- swsieber 12y agoI don't think mass is the right way to measure things. I think the correct way to measure things would be by % of daily target. What if you only need 1/100 by mass of some other nutrient vs fiber?
- jp555 12y agoRecommend daily amount is tricky because it may not reflect our most current understanding, but it is a good starting point. For example the RDA of vitamin D is 600IU/day, but there has been evidence that up to 10x this dose continues to provide benefit. While once you have your RDA of other vitamins, any more will just be flushed out of you so it's irrelevant.
