Today I eat ice plant AKA sour fig AKA pigface AKA clawberry. I love how many common names these plants in the Carpobrotus genus have. It’s another South African-native plant that was introduced here in Southern California. It’s planted along freeways, sand dunes, and so many other places. Once you know how to spot it, you’ll see it everywhere. And it’s edible! The leaves are edible, although much of the time not at all palatable. The fruits are really what you want. The ripe ones are super sweet. Some people say they taste like kiwi, but to me the ice plant fruits taste like purple Skittles. This video was filmed in Playa del Rey, Burbank, and Ventura, California. Practice safe foraging by only harvesting plants you can 100% identify.
