Question 1

Is it non- irradiated?

Accepted Answer

As it is certified Organic, I would imagine it isn't irradiated either. But why not just ask Starwest directly? Their number is: 1-800-800-4372.

Question 2

Where in Croatia is this harvested ? Croatia shares a border with Bosnia, Bosnia was bombed with depleted uranium which is radioactive.

Accepted Answer

I bought this based on source in Europe (read somewhere Poland).  Didn't pay attention, but on front of bag, it says source/origin is China (as of May 2021).

Question 3

Please give me a recipe of using and how often can i use Dandelion Root.

Accepted Answer

I truly enjoy a cup of dandelion tea to be strong flavored.  Therefore I use 1/2 Tablespoon per cup (that's about 1-1/2 teaspoons).  I roast it quite dark; very dark brown.  I discovered this by accident when I over roasted a batch in my oven.  It was just short of starting to be a tad burned.  Oh, but it makes a deep, dark, rich flavored cup of dandelion root tea!  When I am cooking up a batch of tea on the stove with this dark roasted root, it almost smells like peanut butter. (I make a 'concentrate' by combining 6 cups of water and  16 tablespoons roasted root.  I bring it to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 5". Then i turn it off and let it sit on the stove and cool, and hopefully pull more flavor out of the root.  When it's cool enough, I pour the 'tea concentrate' into a quart jar through a sieve.  When I'm ready to have some, I measure 1/8 cup of the concentrate into a cup and add 8ozs water and heat that up before drinking it....although it's pretty good cold, or room temp.) One time I put 1/4 cup of this concentrate to 8ozs of water and it was wonderful!  The reason I make a concentrate is so that I don't have to store so much premade quantity of tea in the frig.  Since this quart of concentrate makes 32 cups, I drink it frequently and love it! I'd love to hear how others make it.

Question 4

is it roasted

Accepted Answer

No it is not. You can easily roast in a 250 degree oven. Spread on a cookie sheet or extra heavy aluminum foil and roast for about 15-20 minutes or until it dries and turns brownish.
