Useful Plants: Milkweed - Part 1

Tips, Tricks

1. Cool video nice info.
2. I heard fireflies lay their eggs on them
3. That was very interesting
4. Thank you
5. pods are edible only when young... like the small one he first picked. They do not nescessarily need 3 changes of water.. Boiling removes the toxicity and bitterness but often one boiling process will remove the bitterness . ... it has work for me. The same with the immature flower heads and young shoots up to about 15cm. I will often boil once and taste... if still bitter, I will change water. That is my exeperience, don't recommend it for anyone else. only with Common Milkweed variety, 
6. @gamerneek why the bias what about cannabis indica? lol
7. never seen milkweed, will have to tell my dealer about it
8. even if he was an expert you shouldn't just go online and then decide to eat wild anything just because an internet video has someone doing it without doing real research from reliable sources. it's just common sense.
9. thank you for taking the time to make these informative videos. As for azacs comment - why don't you try making some videos and just see for yourself how difficult it is - it is a learning experience - as for me - I like the style - it's like taking a walk with a friend - much appreciated.
10. The flower, before it opens, is edible and quite delicious - better than broccoli! I picked some when the flower clusters were still close together and steamed them with young asparagus. Try it! Good video, gets people talking and makes them aware of their environment. ;-)
11. Thanks for sharing. In our area of south central Texas, we have the Antelope Horn milkweed, which doesn't grow very tall (maybe 10-12 inches, at best) but produces these interesting balls of flowers. Similar leaf structure as your type, though.
12. thanks.i had no idea what milkweed looked like.i did know it was edible pods and ,has white latex.pods need to be cooked with change of water few times,like you said it may be extremly toxic.
13. @mimi0674 No lol It was only half a block 
14. another use for the "milk" or sap is to remove 'brown spots' on your skin. dab the sap onto the spot and let dry, it will start to remove the spot after several applications, forming a scab where the brown spot was. when the scab falls off it leaves no scar. It is also used to remove "skin cancers".... works in the same way.
15. why would you break the seed pod? must be a bone head from NJ.
16. @azacs I have used this to remove some kind of warts from my hand when I was a kid and it worked , not for all warts I don't think
17. @cutlerylover azacs is a penis.
18. sorry if I was being rude to reply the way I did, I just dont make videos as an expert, nore do peopel expect it, anyway I have only eated the young shoots before, I ahve yet to eat the tops, I just dont catch it in season...
19. ya, I'm just one guy. Don't take my comments too seriously. I love milkweed, I'm honestly glad you're passionate about it too. I'd crude as I am about my feedback I actually do want to see you keep making videos. Regardless of the stats you can decide for yourself if my feedback is worthwhile or not....Have you eaten much milkweed?
