- Common Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) is known widely as a poisonous plant on which Monarch butterflies depend.
But the truth is, many parts of this plant are edible, so long as they are treated properly as demonstrated in the video. This is a useful skill to know for any nature lover, bushcrafter, survivalist, or prepper. Don't let yourself pass up a good food source!
What is Adventure Bushraft? A series of short cinematic videos in which we do a small walk with some sort of bushcraft activity - processing wood, using plants, making shelters, etc.
Ha! Good to see an Asian twist on bushcraft cuisine. =) especially since I'm Chinese too! =)
Yew Seng Cheong Haha I think Asian food is the best food. And it Chinese seasoning makes bland camping food more exciting
What a well made video from 6 years ago!
great video. thanks for sharing. our plant videos never really get the view our other videos do. but we think it's important and interesting to show plants and their uses. so thanks again! i'll keep watching if you keep uploading! - stony
Thanks! Same goes for you. And I agree, plant ID/knowing how to use plants is huge.
Thank you that was very enjoyable
Really wonderful video and thank you extremely! Will love finding milkweed where I am and will love eating milkweed when I find it. Thank you again for your really excellent and wonderful video!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the video :) And thanks for watching!
Loved this
Great video again Andrew, love your work. Keep em coming bro !!
Thank you! Same to you!
Thanks Mr unofficial fda
Mmm... Looks delicious. Not sure I've seen those in the UK, will have a look when I'm out and about in the Spring. Thanks for sharing Andrew!
Great stuff
Thanks for reminding folk that wild edibles can be found anywhere, woods, fields, in town.
Every time I watch one of your videos, I learn at least one thing new, and on your longer videos, many things. I assume the seasonings you used in the jars were Chinese seasonings. It was hard to hear because you seemed so far away from the mike/camera. But I think one of things you said was chili bean sauce?
Nice video. Very soothing music :) A little hard to see sometimes by firelight, but I still enjoyed watching. Good job!
Great Video! Thank you!
Steve Flanagan Thanks so much for watching! It's about the time to be collecting the pods. If you do, let us know how it goes! -Andrew

You can actually eat the cat tails as well. Better to eat em then using them to start the fire with lol

What is the Genus Name for the Milkweed you're eating the pods of?
This appears to be Common Milkweed. There are 17 species in the genus Asclepias in Missouri. The one most similar to common milkweed is purple milkweed, but its flowers are darker and more purplish, and its pods lack slender warty projections. Flowers are pink to lilac, very fragrant, borne in clusters terminally and along the stems, arising from leaf axils. Leaves are broadly elliptical, rounded at the base, to 6 inches long, with fine hairs underneath, on distinct leaf stalks.
wait so you can just eat them whole after you prepare them
It appears that is just he was doing.
