Algodoncillo (Asclepia)

Descripción: Common milkweed is a herbaceous perennial plant growing from a rhizome to 1-2 m tall. The stem is very hairy, and all parts of the plants produce a white latex when broken. The leaves are opposite, simple broad ovate-lanceolate, 7-25 cm long and 3-12 cm broad, usually with an undulate margin and a red-colored main vein. They have a very short petiole and a velvety underside. The flowers are grouped in several spherical umbels with numerous flowers in each umbel. The individual flowers are small, 1-2 cm diameter, perfumed, with five cornate hoods. The seeds are attached to long, white flossy hairs and encased in large pods.

Dónde se encuentra: Se encuentra en la mayor parte de Norteamérica al este de la montañas Rocky Mountains, con la excepción de las partes más secas de las praderas. Crece en suelos arenosos y le gusta mucha cantidad de luz solar.

Disponibilidad: Primavera, verano

Uso: Los tallos, brotes, hojas, flores y vainas son comestibles, pero se deben cocinar primero. Las flores se pueden sumergir en la masa y freír, y las otras partes se pueden hervir por unos minutos. No es necesario hervir algodoncillo en cambios repetidos de agua.
