Milkweed pod season!

(1/3) > >>

Stickhead:
This is my favorite wild veggie, and it’s peaking now in VA.  Snip ‘em, rinse and boil ‘em.  A little salt and butter, and you can’t beat ‘em.  (Just leave some buds for the Monarch butterflies.)

Stoker:
Interesting.. Ours are just blooming.. Taste like chicken???
Thanks Leroy

KHalverson:
I harvested and tried these yesterday.
I boiled twice.
tasted like a cross between wax beans and asparagus.
added butter and a touch of minced garlic.
delicious!!

tattoo dave:
So I have to ask, why boil them twice?

Dave.
i know that the sap is bitter.
i done it to make sure it was all gone from the pods.
unfortunatlly i think the pods are too far along to do this now.
next year i will definatelly try this again and try only boiling once.
