I'm genuinely upset I only discovered Clara after her death. God bless her.

I had a neighbour who was a very nice but extremely quiet and guarded lady. One morning, I noticed she was weeding my yard. I went to speak with her and thanked her but she didn't need to do it. She said, "I eat the dandelion greens". She asked if I used any pesticide and I said no. I found out later from her daughter that she was a holocaust survivor and how much she had suffered. My heart ached. Her daughter said, they used to make wine or drinks from the dandelion flowers. It is amazing how humans can adapt to a very cruel life. Clara's video reminded me of the beautiful soul, I had the blessing of knowing.

What a beautiful woman. At first I felt sad when I read that she'd passed but she looks like she lived a full life. Not everybody can say that. God bless her soul

“we ate a lot of dandelions, they’re cheap, you can get em for nothing” this is the most wholesome content you can find on this website

My grandparents told me they used to eat “wish sandwich’s” it was a sandwich where they wished there was something in between it 😂

Clara: "It's literally free food that's nutritious."

Local Bistro: "$23."

One of the most precious, enjoyable people on Youtube.

RIP Sweet Clara.

Currently having a mental break down after finding out she’s not on this earth anymore

"Sometimes the Lord thinks of you...he drops food from Heaven" said Clara with the most heartwarming smile and grateful heart I've seen thus far.
Can't believe I just found this hidden treasure. RIP Clara.

You also can make dandelion "honey" from the flowers – actually syrup, not real honey, but surprisingly close to honey and actually really good.

To everyone feeling sad about her passing away, lets just be glad she doesnt have to experience all this crap we are facing right now. Imagine living through the Great Depression then potentially having to go through a similar situation in your twilight years

[whocares]

From the great depression to her own you tube channel.
What a sea of change witnessed in one life time.

If anyone else told me to eat dandelions, I’d look at them like they’re crazy. If Clara says dandelions are good, I say please tell me more.

[JenInTN]

Let's get her to a million for her family to get a gold play button. She's so close! What a tribute and wonderful momento of their grandmother that'd be

[thetillerwiller]

She literally just picked grasses from outside and made a lunch. I realized how ungrateful I am :(

[myonlybeauty]

If ckara knew where we were headed now, She might realize how useful her time and efforts were to us all. More so now than ever.
