Ingredients: Dandy Blend is made of only four ingredients: roasted barley extracts, roasted rye extracts, roasted dandelion root extracts, and roasted chicory root extracts. Instant: What sets Dandy Blend apart from its competitors? We’re instant! The powder is soluble in any type of liquid at any temperature. No steeping or brewing. Just “All The Goodness of Dandelion In An Instant!” Caffeine-Free: Dandy Blend’s founder Dr. Peter Gail learned about different coffee alternatives in the 90s but knew he could make one better. He combined his love for edible plants and dandelion root to make it more therapeutic and flavorful, and, in 1994 Dandy Blend was born as a hit caffeine-free herbal beverage.
