Dandelion 5-pack
Dandelion is one of the most nutrient-rich native leafy greens and provides exceptionally high amounts of Vitamin C, Vitamin A and especially Vitamin K (approx. 700 µg per 100 g). The young leaves are ideal for salads, smoothies or pestos and offer a natural combination of bitter compounds, minerals and antioxidant plant compounds.
Caution: Dandelions from the roadside can be contaminated with exhaust fumes, pesticides or animal faeces. It is safest to enjoy them from your own, controlled cultivation – fresh, clean and guaranteed free of pollutants.

Growing is very easy with the plant capsules:
Simply place the capsule in one of your empty plant baskets, and in a few weeks, you can enjoy your first harvest.
Due to the special design of the plant basket, the capsule is always supplied with the correct amount of water. This way, your plant can neither dry out nor be overwatered.
Hand-picked seed selection
When hand-selecting our seeds, we prioritize organic seeds that give plants a full-bodied flavor and are easily digestible. We focus on the best seed quality and regional sourcing. Before the seeds are finally added to our product range, they are extensively tested by our plant teams.
Insert and enjoy
The capsules provide the perfect environment for the seeds. The capsules are made of natural, peat-free materials. They have an ideal pH value and are free from pesticides, fungicides and all that other stuff. Best of all, they retain their shape permanently. For your complete convenience, we ensure they are already enriched with mineral fertilizer and even contain the seeds. That's why we fill them here in Münster/Hiltrup.
Healthier and Fresher
30 Seconds
Growing with homefarm, harvesting, and direct consumption ensure a multiple of nutrients in herbs, microgreens, and salads. This can even be up to 70 times more. This also has positive effects on taste and freshness.
Weeks
Herbs from the supermarket often have a long journey behind them after harvesting or are overloaded with fertilizers. In addition, there are temperature fluctuations, storage times, and stresses. All of this has negative effects on nutrients, taste, and freshness.
Long harvest time vs. wilting plastic pot
The capsule technology of the homefarm ensures a very long lifespan for your plants. Compared to herb pots from the supermarket, it is on average 4 times longer.
Sustainable
Making a big impact together
Positive impact for people and
nature, plant by plant. The plant capsules and the homefarm ensure a very sustainable cultivation method.
The urbanhive community has so far saved 9,000,000 transport kilometers, 288,000 liters of water and 0.2 tons of single-use plastic.
And that's just the beginning. The more people who participate, the greater the impact. Above all, people were able to marvel at the wonder of nature, day and night, within their own four walls and witness how a tiny seed grew into an edible, flavorful plant.
Germination Guarantee
The homefarm, seeds, capsules, and app form a perfect symbiosis for good growth, yield, and, most importantly, taste. That's why we offer a germination guarantee for every plant capsule. If a capsule doesn't germinate, simply send us a photo of the plant capsule and you'll receive a free replacement with your next order.

Discover the Versatile Uses of Dandelion in the Kitchen
Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) is more than just a weed – this plant is a true all-rounder with numerous culinary and health benefits. Its slightly bitter leaves are ideal for fresh salads, while the sweet flowers can be used as edible decoration. With regular trimming, you can harvest dandelion from your homefarm over a long period, enriching your dishes with fresh flavors time and again.
Can you eat the whole dandelion?
Absolutely! Dandelion is edible from root to flower. The young leaves have a mild, slightly bitter taste and are perfect in salads or green smoothies. The flowers can be used as a garnish or made into syrup, while the roots can be dried and used as a coffee substitute. Dandelion is not only tasty but also incredibly versatile.
Taste and Use
Dandelion not only brings a unique flavor to your kitchen but also provides valuable nutrients. The plant is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as minerals like potassium and iron, which can contribute to overall health. Dandelion is also traditionally valued for its digestive and diuretic properties.
For a simple and delicious use, you can prepare a fresh dandelion salad. Combine the young leaves with apple slices, walnuts, and a honey-mustard dressing. Alternatively, dandelion can be excellently integrated into green smoothies or as a side dish with savory meals. You can find inspiration in the urbanhive App – where more creative recipes await you.
