As a child, I witnessed my grandma feeding this to the chickens, ducks and turkeys, even the pigs. Now that I know it's edible, I can't find it anywhere in London, UK. I'd love to try it one day ❤
Purslane is the most nutritious naturally growing plant we have in North America. It is also more nutritious than any food made or grown in North America. 😊❤
I didnt know purslane is considered as weed. In Turkey it's eaten raw with yogurt and olive oil or cooked with onions and tomato paste (Semizotu in Turkish)
Ahh I’ve had this before. It’s got a slightly slimy mucilage texture right? Ppl susceptible to kidney stones or gout should avoid it since it’s high in oxalates.

I love purslane, it grows right in front of my front step, and I make sure never to step on it.
I have been pulling purselane out by the truckload.
I had no idea it was an edible!
We've always ate our "weeds" from the garden, because their quality nutrition has no compare. Yummy and so satisfying.

I wanna learn how to forage 😭😭
This is one reason why I love ya’ll content 🫡❤️
I just pulled some out of the garden; I didn’t know you could eat it! Definitely going to harvest it the next time it pops up.
My family immigrated from Iran. Our tradition is pickling the plant and it has a good flavor!
Oxalic acid binds to calcium and increases risk of Kidney stones so just beware
Do you guys grow sunflowers? Here they grow like weeds and require 0 care, and sunflower seed oil and butter are delicious
Tacos made in flower tortillas are not tacos 😭
I let spring weeds take over garden..they die in the summer heat and keep things like grass out
Interesting. I’ve always heard that purslane is poisonous!
Mmm in my neighborhood they often come with the likelihood of being lightly preserved with dog urine. Delicious.
A friend ate wild greens, got insane kidney stones from the oxalates… so definitely cook the ones that do! Have fun, yummmmmmm!!!
This plant is very much used as a side salad in my country and we name it Tajloujt. it's so yomy with lemon or citrus.
