No, no, no, FIRST boil the water, THEN add the milkweed. I've not watched the entire video yet, but the young, green unopened flower bunches can be eaten, I used to do this....
I've heard that you gotta boil bamboo the same way. Once, change the water, and then once again. I've got some bamboo shoots around here. Might try some (after I do my research).
Anyone that post plants should also talk about the poisonous lookalikes. Like he said, get a couple different sources Because Dogbane shoots and Butterfly-weed shoots look a lot alike and are Poisonous! common milkweed: downy-hairy with milky sap; Dogbanes: Hairless; Butterfly-weed: Lacks Milky Sap.
Somtimes I beter eat grass at least its easyer to cook. I wuld recomend eating Taraxacum officinale (cudnt find english name sory I think you mentioned them) only they have some poisunus alikes(looks abaut same) and you can eat the yellow part raw and leawes as salad (not too taysty but still good) the yellow part is delichus :)

Clarification:
shoots - the plant as it emerges from the soil; growing tips, inckluding 'sideshoots'
What he is refering to in the video are young, tender leaves.

It is time we start viewing weeds differently. Shame on the chemical industry.

How long do you boil the milkweed leaves before and after changing water?
danielentzechou 3 years ago
I believe each water change should last about 1 to 2 minutes nafter the water comes to a rapid boil...
