About Milkweed Blossoms Preparation
Unopened buds are delicious when cooked but must be treated first to remove bitterness. Put them in a pot, pour on boiling water, boil one minute, drain, and pour on more boiling water. Repeat this process three times or until no bitterness remains when you taste them. Cook them a little longer until just tender and serve with butter. Reader Jean McLain of Peoria, IL wrote The Herb Companion and asked: Any ideas what can be done to use milkweed blossoms? The fragrance is musky but not unpleasant. Could they be used in moth-repellant bags? HC responded with the above recipe and said they could find no mention of any use of the blossoms as a moth repellent.
