An extraordinary artisan marinade!
Milkweed is burdened with many nicknames, bringing back memories for many who, as children, played with the plant.
Milkweed is the host plant for monarch caterpillars, who feed exclusively on its leaves. During our harvests, it’s not uncommon to encounter these elegant butterflies after they’ve left the chrysalis stage.
While most people recognize milkweed, few know it’s edible. The latex it contains is actually toxic, but since it dissolves easily in water, the plant can be safely prepared. At Gourmet sauvage, we have been selling milkweed pods since 1993, prepared with a rigorous method developed in collaboration with the MAPAQ.
