It will be less bitter if harvested later in the day. The reason is that like many other succulents and cacti, it uses what's known as CAM photosynthesis (crassulean acid metabolism), whereby its pores are closed during the day to prevent water loss. It opens them at night to take in co2 and stores it over the course of the day as an acid. Therefore, picking it toward the evening gets you a slightly different tasting plant.
Thanks for the info!! This is a great tip!!!!
Cool!!!
I use it in my omelettes all through summer. Pros: It does give off some Dopamine so has a relaxing effect, if eaten regularly. There are a number of very mellow people who have consumed it on a regular basis, Ghandi, Thoreau etc. Parasites hate it, tapeworms especially. Cons: It can be high in Oxalic acid, so people who are prone to kidney stones need to not eat bucket loads of it. My garden is fenced off so stray dogs do not get to cock their legs on it. If you are in an area that is open to the public, grab some and replant, then use it next year it will self-propagate easily by seed. You will see small yellow flowers all over it if left to go to seed.
You are the first and perhaps the only person to comment on its high oxalate content. My mother loves purslane and she serves it as the primary green in salads. I wondered why my joints would begin to feel creaky after certain dinners at her home. People with kidney problems and gout should put it on their list of high oxalate foods to avoid.
My grandmother (Mexican indigenous) would take me purslane-picking (Texas panhandle) when I was young (6 -16). She had a simple recipe; Saute onions and garlic in oil or butter, add purslane (stem with leaves cut into ~ 2" long pieces) for 10 minutes. (Salt/pepper) Add fresh diced tomatoes and cook until tender. Serve on a hot tortilla. Delicious!

Oh that sounds delicious! And what beautiful memories.
Delcielo9 My mother in law was from Lebanon and said they do the same thing. My grandmother and i would take a couple of shopping bags and go find wild grape leave vines and try and strip the hell out of them for dinner the next day. All these “weeds” are just free groceries!
Hahahaha, my mom and I use to do the same thing. I grew up and Wyoming and my mom made it the same way. There was another plantbwe use to pick, but I don't know the name in English. Both are very delicious!!!
My mom calls this plant Vergolagas. I remember the haughty neighbors would recoil at eating those WEEDS.
You could saute an old boot with onions and garlic in butter and it would taste great.
This “weed” took over my cucumber bed and I didn’t even know I could eat it. I’ve been throwing it away for weeks. Glad I came across this video, thank you!
I've also been 'weeding' it. And I love natural growing foods!
Purslane is so much healthier for you than anything you can grow! I just wish it was around all year round! It would be in everything I ate!
I’m actually experimenting with it in my garden as a ground cover/green mulch. It’s makes a lot of seeds but it’s not super aggressive or hard to get rid of so I don’t see it outcompeting much other plants. Bare soil is dead soil!
I hope those on weed find this the best replacement weed.
I put it in soup n salads I stir-fry it I make pesto out of it
It's amazing that you had both plants side by side. Great to see ...Thank you!
My family all love raw Purslane in sandwiches. It is far better than lettuce. There is more flavour and crunch.
I gotta try that once I start growing my own!
Do they put the whole thing (stem and all) in their sandwiches or do they individually pluck off the leaves like Christa?
sounds good
good video
Us too
I use purslane as a ground cover in my gardens. They get lovely yellow flowers on them in the fall. They help to shade the ground and preserve the moisture in my soil in our hot summers. I deliberately keep pots of them throughout the property.
All my edible weeds like purslane, amaranth, chickweed, sorrel & lambs quarters are used as a living mulch in my vegetable gardens to keep the soil from drying out & to keep out the useless weeds out. I harvest them when they're at their peak & we enjoy them immediately or I freeze some but I always leave a few plants to reseed themselves. Many of these "weeds" are natural soil amendments that add valuable nutrients back into the soil. They are friends of a permaculture garden.
Shirley J thanks, I will do the same grow in pots as I have no garden!
Not a good idea to keep it in your garden. It is extremely invasive and will choke everything else out. I've been battling it for decades.
Is this also known as rose moss?
@@kakea8403 possibly? It does get little yellow flowers that remind me of a tiny rose. Good luck getting an answer! Many blessings! 🙏🏻
I grew up in Massachusetts and it grew wild in the garden. We called it pigweed. My mother made a salad with it with just the leaves, diced onions, and a vinaigrette dressing....yum!! Just cam across your channel and am enjoying it. Keep up the great videos. Enjoy!!!
Thank you for this post!
Purslane is commonly used in my culture, Kurdish, we call it Perpeena. It is either roughly chopped along with stems, lightly blanched, then after it cools down, mix with thick natural yoghurt (like Greek yoghurt) and either chopped onions or garlic. It's kept in a large container in the fridge for weeks, and served as a dip, to be enjoyed with bread for a light supper.
Another recipe is to saute with onions and tomato puree, add chicken stock and seasoning, and serve as a stew served with rice.
In greece we use it in salads !
Love your information
That sounds like a great way to use it. I'd mix in about 1 teaspoon or 4 grams of capers per serving in the recipe because those add natural quercetin.
Do you know what it is called in Farsi?
Oh man that sounds yummy too! Another recipe to try!
So awesome to see them side by side. Amazing video. So simple but perfect.
planted a garden outside of a Chinese restaurant that i work at. The cooks freaked out when i weeded the purslane from the soil. Later on we ate what grew back in chicken broth and I became a fan
Ron Froehlich Thank you. I think the Chinese would add them in dumplings (i.e.: wantons) or some filled savoury grilled cakes. I know some Italians add them to their cheese fillings for ravioli.
You are the first vlogger/ blogger to show purslane's use in eating/ cooking. This is so helpful. Thank you!
Lovely! Thank you. I throw some soaked almond, hemp and sunflower seeds into the vitamixer with water, garlic, lemon and spices and blend to a smooth, thick liquid. I toss the purslane leaves and tops in this mixture and spread onto parchment paper and dehydrate til crisp. Yum!
wow that sounds amazing! i do like hemp hearts. i may leave out the lemon as they are already lemony flavored and i try to avoid citrus because i don't have the best tooth enamel lol
What most call weeds, I call God's pharmacy & landscape.
May the Lord bless & keep u always.
💕🕊💕
There is such thing as a weed, they are all wild-flowers.
And as you've noticed they advertise for weed killer on tv and the radio, hot and heavy.. I never used the stuff myself, i don't like to poison the ground..
I wish I watched this earlier...I just weeded my corn patch and this plant was 90 percent of the weeds I pulled and discarded. Now I will be harvesting them along with salad greens instead of discarding them. It's amazing how Jehovah in his infinite wisdom gave us plants like these that grow without our help...to insure the survival of the human race. So much to learn about HIS amazing creation. Thank you for the information about this amazing plant. I look forward to learning more from you.
Sara
Sara Tilus you could feed your hogs or chickens with it
There is a farmer who sell his weeds. Look him up. I can't remember his name. But selling weeds was in the title.
Sara Tilus I also weeded our veggie patch and there was tons of this plant!! Honestly had no idea it was edible
@@barbryll8596 prepare a big pot and every time you see a tiny purslane growing wild you take it to your pot and transplant it , I do this all the time and I end up with a big pot full of edible purslane that eat raw or mixed with scrambled eggs :)
I'm thinking your purslane grew back. :) It's really hard to get rid of. I eat the daylights out of it and sometimes fear I've "over grazed" but there it is again. Dandelion was my gateway weed and now I tend to eat more weeds than garden produce. All I have to do is harvest my weeds. They really do take care of themselves. I'm so thankful for them and I feel happy when I eat them. Peace.
I been watching UA-cam videos on gardening for a long time, today I came across your videos for the very first time! You are a keeper, I love your videos, thanks for sharing your ideas and wisdom.
Love it. Great video. Thank you :)
I make a stew of washed red lentil (1C), carrot (x2 large chunks), cauliflower (1/2 of whole), brown onion (1 medium), curry leaves (one stem - optional), fresh finely chopped ginger (1to 2t), ground turmeric (1t) - fry on medium in 1T canola oil. Add just enough water to cover (maybe 3-4 cups), bring to boil, cover, reduce to low, cook 30 mins. Add fair amount of (Maldon) salt to taste after 30 mins of cooking, followed by a sprinkle of 1/2t un-roasted curry powder (optional.) Handful of purslane (stems and leaves) can be stirred in at this stage to wilt a little. Has a bit of the slimy feel, but I don't mind it.
Optional but very tasty addition: In a small pan, heat 2T of (canola) oil. Add 1 to 5 dry red chilli (Omit chilli if not desired), 1t black mustard seeds, 1/2t cumin seeds. Place splatter guard over immediately while they pop and chillies darken slightly. Then still while it's hot, pour the entire oil mix over the lentil stew. It will sizzle and splatter. This adds a whole other dimension of smokey spicy flavour. Stir gently to incorporate, do not stir too much. Enjoy with rice or bread.

Kathy it is the name of a company that sells sea salt. They also make a smoked salt which adds a lovely flavour to food.
Cant wait to cook this!
Wow! Thank you for sharing these recipes! Many blessings! 🙏🏻
Purslane makes really good pickled herbs, they are mentioned in the Bible and the Torah.
Pls give the verse details
Well before the time of Pliney, there is mention of purslane in the Bible. ... The prophet Job asks “Can that which is tasteless be eaten without salt, or is there taste in the slime of the purslane?” The 'slime' probably refers to the mucilaginous nature of purslane.
Toxic to cats.

here is a recipe for this awesome veggie
mix it with chopped onions cucumbers tomatoes reddish, dry mint chopped lettuce lemon juice, salt and olive oil to taste and top it off with oven-dried sliced pita bread or your favorite croutons one bite & you'll Envision heaven..😃
this is called Lebanese fattoush
Saeed~ Thank you for sharing your recipe! This sounds amazing and I can't wait to try it!
That sounds delicious! Thank you and many blessings! 🙏🏻
That does sound good. What mint would you use a strong one like peppermint or mild like spearmint?
What a lovely video and wonderful comments from all round the world. So positive and joyful. This is what humankind is really all about.
I was thinking the same.
@@kaydell321 agreed!
I'm from Mexico we call it Verdolaga we cooked with green sauce and pork
Hello Do you know what they call Calites in English ?? Thank you
Another good plant. Thank you
thanks for this. i grow purslane but haven't tried it this way.
Hi, In India we cook it with lentils and raw mango. It's one of my favorite curries or dal as we call it
Could you give the recipe?
It grows very good in Aruba and when i was young we grandmother used to prepare it for us . Here it is called "Bembe" and is not eaten nowadays due to lack of knowledge about the plant .
It grows in my vegetable garden.
Its helps keep other weeds down. I add it to salads & stir fry.
This Herb is amazing ! I am Persian and my grandma made a special soup with this herb test was fantastic. Also is good for diabetics people. You can make tea with this herb. Also purslane make refinement the blood. And has potassium and calcium.
How do you make purslane as a tea? Fresh leaves?
Oh thank you for sharing this wonderful information! I wouldn’t have thought to make a tea with it! This is 2yrs later, I hope you still see this message?! Many blessings! 🙏🏻
Purslane is AWESOME and delicious! It's just one of the several, edible, "weeds" which appear every year in my garden. Along with purslane, come lambs quarters, wood sorrel (mistakenly called sweet clover), night shade, milkweed, and plantain, to name a few.
Purslane is, by far, the most delicious. I mean, it tastes really good.
Wild lettuce has that same excretion and it's a powerful medications
I was thinking the same thing when she mentioned the white milky substance. 👍🙏🏻
My parents always called it "cancer weed" because of how it spreads. I love this stuff! When I find it in my garden, I weed around it and treat it like my other garden goodies. :)
Good on you 😊
Perhaps your parents will find out about its benefits and call it BLESSING PLANT !
In Lebanon it is a regular vigies that we eat as salad or filling for pastry. We call it Bakleh like.
Akram Rabah
My grandma taught me about Purslane when I was 10 years old. She boiled it and served it as a side dish the same as any other vegetable. Yesterday I tried some of it in my omelet. Good stuff!
Really like your channel, Thank you for all the info. I dont understand why your videos dont have over a million views already. Keep up the great work! God Bless!
Thank you for the comment S P! I appreciate your encouragement! God bless you too!
it's hard to get a million views if the content of the video does not include religious, government, Pokemon go, sexual immorality, murder, how to pick locks, and various videos including military warfare, grand theft auto and so on, oh do not forget the Kardashians.
I have this growing in my yard. I remember it being a beautiful flower, so, I transplanted it.
I had no clue it was a super food!!!!
Purslane is also known as "verdolagas' in the Latin world. If you'd like to see some recipes in Spanish; put verdolagas in the search line above.
Mark, you just taught me something new! Thank you! I will look it up!
Mark Renshaw Love Verdolagas!
Mark Renshaw yes i know them like verdolagas. My grandma use to cook with bacon, jalapenos and onions.
I love verdolagas! We sauté some onions and tomatoes and throw in the verdolagas, just that simple, they taste delicious with home made corn tortillas!
In Portuguese "baldroegas"
As a Mexican I grew up eatting this. Called verdolagas in the morning saute with onions and scramble eggs. Later with a green sauce and pork cubes, or with beef or chicken with other sauces we used the stems too. I made them once in mole.
But I never tried it raw in a salad, I will soon. You can also buy it at a mexican markets, so you can see it touch it and make no mistakes.
I love purslane, It is so delicious, I fry them like spinach with a lot of onion and garlic. yum!!
poke weed is a really delicious spinach but you have to boild it twice and throw the water out.
Wow, I have 2 planted pots of Campino Purslane on my porch and I used it as decorative plants. They bloom beautiful pink flowers. I had no idea it is a superfood.
Great presentation, thank you Christa! One word of caution - I was chatting with a pharmacist who pointed out that purslane contains potent alkaloids and oxalic acid. So use sparingly! Def would not recommend for anyone with kidney problems. Blessings
DJ Nikiforos, thank you for this information. I have chronic Kidney disease and I have to be careful of oxalates because I form kidney stones very easily. Just had kidney surgery end of December to remove 5 stones and the largest one was 2.4 cm. or 1 1/4 inches in diameter. I really am trying to control my diet to better my health. Rhubarb is at the top of the list of foods with high oxalates.
Yeah, probably just eat it raw and the leaves only. Similar problem with spinach - too much and cooked can cause stones to form. Due to lifelong kidney issues I've started seeing improvement in the kidneys doing 4-days long strict dryfasts recommended by Professor Valter Longo at UCLA Dept. of Longevity, and Dr. Pompa on his youtube channel. It really works and cleans up skin issues too (the skin is the third kidney).
@@colleenkaralee2280 dude you get rid of oxalates if you cook them a little, spinach also have oxalates that's why it's best to cook them to reduce it
@@colleenkaralee2280 dryfasts I'm not familiar with
@@colleenkaralee2280 The rhubarb leaves ARE poisonous,,,
I found the biggest patch of it by my local post office. I had the most lovely purslane and onion salad with seared tuna on top. I'm really looking forward to my trips to the post office now
Sounds good☺
I love Purslane, it grows in my garden.
I just found one growing in a planter of mine and I got so excited because I’ve wanted to try it! Now I’ll be growing it too 😎
This cure my lichen Planus skin disease.
My mother used to use the other plant to heal wounds, dry it and grind it and save it to put on wounds
Best prepping channel EVER! Your gentleness of spirit and love of God permeate all you share with us. I'm new to subject matter, partly motivated by the fact that this earth is not my home, and when my times comes, I'll be singing & shouting praise. If God chooses to keep me here, well then.....
One thought niggles at the back of my mind. 20 years of food storage? I'm investing my energies in learning to identify nutrition to supplement my 7 year store. There's a young man in Canada who does fantastic videos on eg. making tea from pine and cedar "leaves". When Europeans came over, scurvy was a scourge. Not among the indigenous people. Pine is extremely high in Vitamin C. It's sap makes a tasty gum. Don't even get me started on cattails...! I see so much energy & money being spent on preserving what we know, when a better mindset might be to learn to adapt to what is there. Proverbs 3: 5,6.
Dena, Thank you so much for your comments! If you haven't watched them yet, check out our video on forever foods. If I was just starting a pantry, I would want all of those in it! ...and I love Pine needle tea and did a video on that too. It is so wonderful to know of how we can use what is right around us like that! ...and cattails for sure!...and pine sap...and so many more!!!
Mexicans eat purslane with ribtips in salsa de tomatillo. IT'S SO GOOD!!
My mother had some growing in our front yard back in the early 2000's and she ate it raw and juiced it.
Raw is the best and juicers are indispensable imho.
I live in the Puget Sound area of Washington with few 90 degree days, yet I have purslane every year in my vegetable garden. I garden organically, so I know the "weed" is ok to eat. I generally eat it in salads and have been preaching the benefits of this superfood for years.
How wonderful, Phyllis!
Very nice in omelette or scrambled eggs too with some feta cheese
Wooo. Yes!
My niece is from China and when she saw this growing in my flower garden she went wild with excitement. This superfood! I did not know at the time what she meant but boy I do now. thank you
When I lived in Illinois about 10 years ago, this "weed" grew like crazy in my yard. I would pull them up as fast as they grew. Fast forward a few years when I became interested in wild edibles and new what I had.. purslane, one of the most nutritious foods on the planet!
I had this over-run my garden a few years ago, like you ... I pulled it out like crazy. Just amazing to learn how nutritious this plant is. I've always questioned what is called a 'weed' ... who decided that? ;-)
Unfortunately most of my neighbors don't appreciate my viewpoint ... not using chemicals and letting what they call weeds grow. Ahh well ... a person is at peace, when they know they live in truth. 🌷
@@theblissfullone A "weed" is just a plant growing somewhere people don't want it to grow. I love sunflowers, but I dont let them grow in the grass under my birdfeeder: it's a weed there. If homeowners want a plant in a place where they didn't actually plant it, it gets called a "volunteer," like the tomato in my dill bed. 😄🌱🌻
I have purslane growing in my garden, I feed it along with the rest of my veggies, thank you for the info!!
Thank You, and GOD bless You Richly in CHRIST JESUS name!
Thank you for the side by side comparison. I had finally learned the difference between the two plants but it would have taken me less time if I'd had seen this type of comparison sooner. Thanks again!
pulled up so much spurge (goat's head) bare handed once my fingers and hand became numb...........kudos to you on your video.............side by side comparison may save a neophyte from becoming ill........TY
Wow. Yes, that spurge loves to grow everywhere!
some1swatchingu is this the same as we call goat heads?
We have so much of that in our yard. I have been picking it roots and all and throwing it in the dumpster. When I get home I will pick some and try it Can't wait!
This would be a great one to plant as a gorilla garden. Plant it all over in a park or where ever it may continue to propagate. Some others may recognize it, but chances are you'll have a continuous supply over the years.
If we ever have a problem, most people will walk by food and starve. She is an angel sharing her knowledge and all of you also. I learned some great ideas on using it. Thank all of you for sharing. God Bless.
Purslane is great! Love the crunch and lemony flavor
Does it surprise us that God would provide people with the most nourishing and needful plants in abundance around where they gather? This Plant, Dandelions and even Cannibus has followed people where ever they go, like a Friend and Camp Buddy! lol
My Old Farmhouse I agree GOD is so awesome in that he has provided for us good things even I. Places we wouldn’t dare to think 🙌🏼🙌🏼
I love Purslane! I spent an enormous amount of time changing the way I garden this past year...since I live in the high desert and had the best garden ever! Along with that, I decided to stop pulling 'weeds', because some of them I've been eating since I was a kid, like lamb's quarters. Here in Central Oregon, Wild Amaranth, lamb's quarters, mallow and purslane grow in and around my garden, so I just left them to grow and eat them all summer long and am in the process of harvesting the seeds to plant in another large yard outside my fence! I racked my brain all summer to come up with an idea to transform a side yard that has died into something that would be easy to maintain. so, I enlisted my neighbor's to throw their compost their and in the spring going to seed all my wild edibles and flowers their! Thanks for your lovely video!
I really enjoy your videos, I am really trying to prep and you are helping me !! Thank You so much ! You make learning fun and enjoyable, again Thank You !!
Oh thank you, Eric!! I am so glad!
Thank you, I've been trying to understand purslane for a while now🙏🏼💚
Common Spurge , as you called it , aka rattlesnake weed, is classed as Chamaesyce albomarginata, can be toxic or used therapeutically to induce vomiting, emetic, and other uses. The milky sap contains toxic alkaloids which require info and experience to safely use, i.e. Zuni native tradition.
Thank you, from an ND, for showing the look-a-likes ,
People in Australia use the latex from spurge to destroy skin cancers.
I mix it raw with Greek yogurt and crushed garlic and some salt.It can then be eaten as a dip like Greek tzatziki.
Wow! You remind me how we all 'COULD' be.
It's obvious (to me) that you don't just "quote" the bible, you "live" it. ♥
That is the best compliment I could ever receive. Thank you so much, RonRay!
The Garden of Eden,, had all edible plants,,and that's how GOD planned for us,,until the fall..
Thank you for the video. We (literally) have a garden full of this growing naturally. Now I know it's growing right where it needs to be.😊
We call this 'verdolagas' we cookem with eggs and green chili sauce.
Creasy greens here in the south is what we look for. My mom used to love finding it in the summer! It grows much like this purslane.
I bought a house which had. Lot of this plant growing out in my courtyard but not knowing what it was but a weed, I sprayed n killed them all. Now I am on the look out constantly for new growth.
Your channel gave me so much knowledge of Gods abundance around us. Thank you.
Here I had been complaining about this weed taking over my veggie and rock garden; I had never seen it before, I've been gardening for over 40 years. I was filling bags and bags of it to throw away. Then my son sent me a pic of it just yesterday as he had a friend give him some purslane along with other garden greens. Now I am going to make a special area in my garden just for this natural nutritional 'weed'! I will add it to my smoothies, and scrambled egg for brekky.
In NW Arizona where I live, purslane grows WILD (aka "verdolaga"), and in my orchard, where there is water, it grows VERY WELL. It's not a "mexican" thing; it's an EARTH BENEFIT, few know about. Thank you, Crista Swartz, for a GREAT presentation!
People in Middle East have eaten this for forever: ba’leh. Eaten raw with lemon, evoo, salt & allspice.
Love your vids. My wife and I have learned a lot from your wonderful content. A heartfelt thank you. God bless.
this was eaten in CHina when I was a child. We would boil it, chop it up, mix with crashed salt and garlic. It tastes very good.
So wonderful that this is so easily accessible! Thank you Lord Jesus!
I just learned last year about this edible plant, that grows rampantly. My mom, "that's just a weed!",
Love these! They do grow wild in my flower bed. Kinda looks like chicken & hens!!
Thanks for sharing about Purslane many people have no idea about the health benefits. I have very healthy fat Purslane that grows around my Moringa trees late summer. I usually chop them up and add them to a big pot of chili. I freeze the chili in smaller serving portions for meals to eat later.
Just saw purslane in my flower bed. Will try it. Have seen spurge too...so now I know the difference.
That weeds that u just pick up that has milk is very good for medicinal .. especially for dengue that can kill a lot of people..it help .. that’s what we called tawatawa in Philippines
That is not tawatawa I know tawatawa and I have that weeds in my yard too. I am from the philippines and now live here in the U.S.
Hi Edna Will u pls show to me a tawa tawa ..u said the r not the same .. if u research the r the same for me
How is it used as a cure to Dengue fever? As a tea infusion? I have had Dengue twice,not good if I get it again. Gracias.

I've been seeing both of these plants here in East New York, but far more purslane than the other one. When I see it, I try to grab it; most people have no idea what it is. Also, wild plantain grows here. Apparently this area of Brooklyn was wild farmland at one time. Blueberry trees, acorn trees, purslane and even some other plants are in this area. I'm very glad to see this video!
I can’t believe I have picked and thrown these away. I won’t do that again. Next Summer now I know how good this is for us.and will use. Thank you!!!!
Yes, Portulaca (Purslane/Verdolagas) is a fantastic addition to so many dishes. I love them fried with refried beans, onion, garlic, tomatoes, and chiles. My wife learned about them from her grandmother who grew up in Chico NM (back in the horse and wagon days).
Hi. I make a Greek salad with feta and add fish to the salad. Sardines, smoked salmon, tuna, grilled fish or salted fish. Also l cook a little in a fry pan and then add eggs to the pan and scramble it together. I use it like a spinach.
In Lebanon, we mix it with Fattoush Salad for ages, it is so tasty and has soily Earth flavor
That sounds scrumptious, Mher! Thank you for sharing!
PREPSTEADERS Thanks to you!! :)
In Michigan, my purslane will get quite big leaves and little yellow flowers. I love to pick off the leaves and just chew on them. Some will get as big as an inch and half long and half-inch wide. I've taught about this wonderful herb and the Omega-rich benefits for years during my herb walks.
I recall seeing something like this on my sidewalks and alleyway. I live in Alberta, Canada. I'm certain I saw this.

Yes, this is very prevalent in the prairie provinces of canada.
& its such a pretty plant too. Reminds me of Jade Plant.
This really helped out as my wife just picked some out of the driveway yesterday.
I'm in the Eastern Tennessee mountains but it doesn't normally get up to 90°F around here. The higher elevation helps to keep the area cooler than the surrounding areas.
I picked this out of our potato patch while weeding this morning. I put it in the blender..just the leaves. I poured in into a ice cube tray. I will use it in smoothies. I chopped the stems for the chickens. Free chicken nutrition.
I just pickled a half gallon of purslane. Used a spicy pickle brine (pkg), and added half cup of sugar to the brine. Added some hot pepper flakes (my daughters earlier crop gift) to the brine. Layered the purslane with dill weed, and whole garlic cloves then poured brine over it. Delicious! My old aunt used to call this and lambs quarters "nature's vitamins"
I went into my back yard and grabbed a handful of Purslane and ate it. I enjoyed it. It was actually quite good.
Good to know and finally good distinction between it and spurge.
I am glad you found it helpful, Tom!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! 👏🏽
I’ve got it in my garden, and in my blissful ignorance thought it was a weed. Now I use it in salads. God is good.👍
Son of a B, I spent years fighting with those darn things in the garden, and didn't know I could eat it!
