How to identify and use purslane

[@AllAboutTheHarvest]

What do you think of purslane? How have you eaten it?

[@skyangel6336]

I think I have it growing in my garden lots of it and that awful spotted surge is growing al l around it....But the flowers are more a hot pink Not orange, purple or yellow....Picture this app says it's common purslane so I just want to make sure..I can't seem to find anyone talking about any with a very tiny hot pink flower

[@richardbrownjr2815]

I found the taste very light with a ever so subtle, peppery note; not bad at all! After washing it, it looked like something I could have purchased at the market. Wow...all this nutrition right in our back yard!

[@dianadevlin3717]

Yes, i make pesto with it and it's delicious

[@DixieBlueEyes]

I have a few in my side yard, so I will try them to see how they taste & probably eat them mixed in a salad with other greens. Also I will try adding to a fruit smoothie. I enjoyed your video, very informative & helpful too.

[@conniewojahn6445]

Ah, finally! A video which clearly identifies purslane compared to spurge. Thank you. Now I'm sure what I thought was edible purslane growing in my yard is really spurge. I'm so glad I ran across this video before I let my curiosity overrule my common sense and tried tasting the plant in my yard. You may have saved me a lot of pain. Thank you.

[@conspiracycorner9610]

Steam it, add a dash of salt and malt vinegar and you can't go far wrong, It is much better before it flowers as the seed pods can make it somewhat gritty. It is good in soup as well. It would be a good companion for ham as the abundant Omega 3 in purslane will cancel out the bad omega 6 in the pork. It grows all over the place here at my compound in Central Texas. What a blessing and wonderful ally this plant is!

[@georgealarcon7533]

In Mexico it is commonly cooked in Chile Verde with pork, adding it the last 5 to 10 minutes as it easily dissolves to almost nothing when overcooked as the plant has a high water content. It is truly delicious!

Hello Davida. Can you share some benefits of purslane to any medical condition in your experience? Thank you

[@LADELCOTO]

@@marives8 hello, I can't pinpoint any specific medical condition purslane cured in my case but it is the richest source of omega 3 ,richer than all those widely listed or commercially sold, the effect is cumulative & results in overall improved welness ,it is a powerful antioxidant and contains a myriad of vitamins ,oligo elements & minerals..Purslane is not generally spoken about by health practitioners as it is so common & grows wild just about everywhere therefore eliminating all commercial value to those developing and selling health supplements...same goes for quite a few marvellous plants that are so good for us but rarely mentioned by the industry You can find all details of purslane nutritional value & health benefits on line..you can grow it it yourself if you have a garden..it is a ground growing plant that likes to extend itself which means that growing in pots is not ideal even though it is possible..it grows very fast & is considered a very invasive weed by those gardeneners who ignore all its virtues .

Thank you.

One limb broke off in transit, I put it in a jar of plain water and the next week it had roots. I will plant that in a antique green wheelbarrow I can move around during the year, and envision it overflowing with gorgeous flowers all summer, and coming back year after year. The flowers of mine are over an inch across, bright fuchsia with yellow centers.

So, this plant got to our garden with some different flower seeds, and we decided to keep it, cause it looked cute and later regretted it, since it started growing all over the place like crazy. At this point there is no getting rid of it, but at least in salads, it is quite tasty and it is healthy, too

It's a soil builder, and it grows on bare ground as a good ground cover, I'm sorry it is invading areas you don't want, best of wishes

[@ОлександраЛукянчук-т3в]

@@EvolutionWendy well, it is kinda agressive, but pretty, and it is like grass anyway, got used to it. In vegetable patches, it isn't the only weed, so if it grows like in potatoes, don't really care. It flower beds, yea, weed it out and make salad. Was surprised when found out it is edible, but it is good. And a very durable plant that can be very decorative. Maybe there are some varieties that dont spread so much.

Where it blooms you can see the tiny, REALLY tiny black seeds as the dried blooms blow away. The seeds normally fall and blow all over to reproduce itself. I pick off the tiny dried bloom heads, and put them in a container till they are dry, then shake them in a wire strainer from the dollar store, The seeds will drop through the strainer into or on a plate, and the rubbish left i tear up and shake it again to get the last seeds. You can save them or plant immediately. It's worth the effort.

I don't normally watch this type of video but liked this one.

In more natural desert, after we've had rains and the land is drying up, there comes a point when only purslane is growing. Yet the wild animals won't touch it. Rabbits, ground squirrels, desert iguana and tortoises ignore the stuff. Yet it's edible to humans. I'm certain this is not spurge. Yes I know it's bad to eat ONLY purslane, but the animals aren't eating it even when there is variety. -- I realize you're not a botanist (or maybe you are) but I'm seeking someone who can explain this.
