PURSLANE HEALTH BENEFITS

Like many other weeds, purslane is not only edible but also far more nutritious than many of the crops that we plant! Here's just a few of the health benefits of purslane:
Seven times the beta-carotene of carrots
Six times more vitamin E than spinach
Fourteen times more Omega 3 fatty acids.
Purslane is also said to be a natural remedy for insomnia. It has many of the same health benefits as other leafy green.

OTHER WAYS TO COOK PURSLANE

How do people eat purslane? Once you've cut off the root, the individual stems needs to be washed carefully. Purslane has little crevices to hold the soil, so you really need to use a hose to get ALL the dirt off.

Purslane is usually tossed into salads or added to soups in the Mediterranean area
In Mexico, it's a favorite addition to omelettes.
Purslane can also be lightly steamed for 4 to 5 minutes, then served with salt and a little butter.
Purslane goes very well mixed with cucumber and topped with some oil-and-vinegar dressing. We stir fried ours. Don't over cook or it will taste sour and slimy!
Also try adding purslane to smoothies or juicing it.
