Early spring before I’d started my garden I came across an article about Purslane, a common “weed” which is extremely nutritious, and grows just about everywhere. I was astonished. I’d been pulling it up and tossing it for years. [Edible and Delicious Weed]
Yesterday I headed out to the garden to make a stab at the weeds that were growing abundantly in my vegetable garden.
While weeding, what should I come upon but Purslane – in abundance!
So…I picked and washed the Purslane and then removed the root portion. Quite an easy job.
You eat the Purslane raw in salads.
I waited to post this today so you would know that I survived without any ill effects.
Enjoy!
Looks delicious! 🙂 Thank’s for posting
Thank you. I forgot to mention in the blog that the purslane is indeed, very tasty. It’s a hard taste to describe, a bit nutty perhaps, and a bit like asparagus or artichoke. You’ll just have to try it to see!
