Les Stroud's Wild Harvest

Milkweed & Cattail Flour

Season 1, Episode 4 of 13

The milkweed plant is the natural life-sustaining domain of the monarch butterfly larvae that choose this wildflower as the only species to develop and grow upon. Sustainably harvested it also represents a wonderful broccoli like vegetable for Chef Paul Rogalski to experiment with. A short walk from expert forager Les Stroud's own cottage, on the edge of the local gravel pit a prolific bounty awaits our wild harvesters.
