Common Milkweed ("Asclepias syriaca") has several different edible parts. Young shoots are edible but I leave their leaves for Monarch butterfly caterpillars to eat. Its buds, flowers and young pods are edible as well. Be sure to avoid Dogbane, a non edible similar lookalike. Two notes: Avoid getting sap in your eyes--supposedly it can cause irritation & possibly blindness (?!? --according to a few sites--I hadn't heard about this in my research); 2)This video is a longer revision of an older, shorter one that appeared in my Summer film.
