Ingredient Spotlight: Why dandelion greens belong on your plate right now 🤍
Dandelion greens are one of spring’s most nutritious offerings. High in vitamins A, C, and K, rich in iron and calcium, and long valued for supporting digestion and liver function. In the macrobiotic tradition, bitter greens are eaten early in the season deliberately: the bitterness stimulates digestion and helps the body clear out what winter left behind. The M Cafe take: our citrus tahini dressing softens the bitterness, the chickpea and brown rice make it a meal, and frizzled onions make it absolutely delicious.

Find this seasonal offering in the Marketplace Deli section of our menu.
