A lot of people don’t realize that most of the wild weeds are edible, and have a lot of nutrients. They are especially needed for our nutrition in the season they are growing.

In Mexico we called purslane, “ Verdolagas” I grew up eating them in almost every dish you can think of

I made stir fried vegetables with purslane in it and it was AMAZING!! It's ALL over my garden this year.

Just made this recipe with a few modifications. Got my Purslane and chicken thighs from local farmers market. I add Za’atar seasoning along with salt and pepper to chicken. I decided to sauté my two garlic cloves, sliced along with the peppers. Also I added a dash of oregano and paprika to stew. Served with crumbled feta cheese and buttered toasted sour dough bread.

I was just telling a neighbor that I was going to find out what to do with the purslane growing in the yard because I knew it was edible. Then you showed up with this! Thank you!!!

Best way to cook purslane is simply to boil it not long, chop it, add salt, crushed garlic, oil and eat it like a salad. Some like to add vinegar or lemon juice too. You can keep it cooked even a couple of weeks in your fridge! Goes well with fried meat, chicken, potatoes. Very nice and healthy! Good for the stomach, improves digestion and many vitamins in it. 🇬🇪🕯️❤️ Georgia, Tbilisi

I love this recipe

I have purslane, and reseeded in my raisebeds. Taste so good in just about everything. I've try several breakfast, lunch, and dinner.😋😋😋😋😋😋

This was a wonderful video. I just gathered a bunch of purslane and was looking for recipes. I can’t wait to watch more of your videos. You made me feel at home.

I have never used that plant before but I do have it growing around my house, I will try this thank you for that..

I enjoyed your video! Planning to try this! I grew 1 purslane plant from seed, and I bought a whole bunch of purslane at Wal mart, which is growing very well.

This recipe is amazing my family enjoyed it! My son was eating just the stew and veggies!!!! Thank you!

Bravissima 🇮🇹🌹 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

It looks so yummy. Will try it.

Lol in my country we don't know purslane is edible we uproot it as weeds 😂😂. That's until I left my country and my employer bought this yesterday. I've been confused about what to do with the weeds until I saw this.. I'm going to make a delicious stew tonight. Hopping everyone will like it... Thank you

Purslane also has Omega 3's, I read. You also gave me an idea - to put a slow cooker on the porch and plug it into the outside outlet. Living in a desert area, I find heat builds up in the house even with air conditioning (without which I couldn't bear to live here). So I'm loathe to heat my house up any worse or faster by cooking indoors much, lest the house be too hot to sleep at bedtime. But a slow cooker on the porch.... or the propane stove for the practice, that makes sense too! Cooking outside in summer is perfectly feasible (and I think would be more nutritious than endless smoothies).

I live purslane and have used it for years. I love this stew recipe you have given. Planing to try it soon. My purslane is just coming ready to use!

Super delicious, loved it. stir fried it.

i love purslane...thanks for this recipe

Stews is the most powerful food or medicine

YUMMMM!!!!!!

GOOD JOB

Thank you!

I’m patiently waiting for spring, it’s April 3rd and I still have 3 ft snow pack in my yard and are supposed to get 17”-20” more tomorrow 😏 I can’t wait to see a weed :)

A year later and I'm finding this video very helpful! Thank you 😁

i make similar like my mother taught me. no carrots, bellpepper or chicken but Pork Chops, fresh tomatoes, love the natural juices. personally i like my purslane long but cutting is ok. try it with pork chops, i'll try your recipe too

I’ll be making your stew. It looks amazing! Thanks! Purslane is popping up everywhere right now!

Where have you been all my life? I grew up in the house with my Ukrainian grandfather but he was very old and didn’t cook anymore. Now you can show me all the things! I’ll be blowing up your like buttons!

I like to brown diced pork. I remove it from the pan and sautee diced onions, tomatoes and garlic in the same pan with the fat left from the pork. Then I add a little chicken stock the purslane and a little water and tomato sauce. Stir and add the pork. I'll simmer on low until everything is cooked and tender.

🙏🏻🌹🙏🏻

You can cook purslane with shrimp too.

Wonderful information. Could you use Sorrel and stinging nettle in recipes in the same way as purslane ? Thanks for your posts. So encouraging. Carolyn

Wow, i have this in my garden but i did not know they are edible. Am from Nigeria.

Please don’t pull your purslane out by the roots! Cut it so it’ll come back year after year. If you pull it before it has a chance to drop any seeds, you’ll deplete your purslane crop for next year!

we eat purslane with chickpea lentils here in pakistan

Thank you! If I wanted to dehydrate this, would you recommend I dry the stems as well as the leaves?

I’ve learned about this plant like a year ago an have a lot growing all over my property! I live in Hawaii I’m also growing an bin using maringa.. but anyway my question to you is how much to consume everyday to get the full benefits of it???

Good n b bls

Can we use the roots for anything can we just add them to the food ?

I wonder if the wild onion with the fake poison onion is safe. Pulled and smelled some. Some smelled like onion and some didn't. Got them and dandelion. Not sure if I have purslane or not.

Is purslane with the pink flower edible? I have pink flower purslane all over my yard and I really want to use them in cooking but I have always seen purslane, that my mother always picked from field it had yellow flower. I appreciate a reply Thank you!

Does it matter if it invasive if it’s edible? I think that’s a good thing

I made a tincture with it. Not sure if it will be good for anything. But I did not want to loose it. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Any opinions on this??

i just got an email, from the farm that I buy my veggies from, that this is on this weeks list of things we are getting. Have never heard of this stuff but it grows all over my back yard and in the cracks of my driveway. I pull it up and throw it away. Is there a chance that the stuff in my driveway is really purslane or is there a type that is not edible. Thanks

oh my i consider this as pest on my backyard. here in ph we have a lots of it and it grows very quicky. i dont know its edible at all

Do you remove the purslane seeds?

Purslane is not invasive. It is native. It is aggressive and loves disturbed sites, but is native

Great Purslane curry recipe See below👇 Red lentils purslane tamarind Squeez thick unsweetened tamarind juice by soaking Tamarind remove its seeds garlic and cumin powder Cook all together This curry served on plain White rice with top off boiled egg Or boiled potatoe Cooked in east Indian cooking 😋

Purslane contains a lot of oxalid acid, hence it should not be eaten too often....Cooking doesnt remove all the oxalid acid....
