Purslane, Portulaca oleracea, is a common weed that packs a lot of nutrition. It has the highest Vitamin A of any leafy vegetable and the highest Omega-3 content of any plant. Learn how to identify this plant to make sure you aren't picking the poisonous look-alike, spurge. In addition to covering the the health benefits I also cover how to use this plant in many different recipes.

I think I have it growing in my garden lots of it and that awful spotted surge is growing al l around it....But the flowers are more a hot pink Not orange, purple or yellow....Picture this app says it's common purslane so I just want to make sure..I can't seem to find anyone talking about any with a very tiny hot pink flower

Steam it, add a dash of salt and malt vinegar and you can't go far wrong, It is much better before it flowers as the seed pods can make it somewhat gritty. It is good in soup as well. It would be a good companion for ham as the abundant Omega 3 in purslane will cancel out the bad omega 6 in the pork. It grows all over the place here at my compound in Central Texas. What a blessing and wonderful ally this plant is!

@@marives8 hello, I can't pinpoint any specific medical condition purslane cured in my case but it is the richest source of omega 3 ,richer than all those widely listed or commercially sold, the effect is cumulative & results in overall improved welness ,it is a powerful antioxidant and contains a myriad of vitamins ,oligo elements & minerals..Purslane is not generally spoken about by health practitioners as it is so common & grows wild just about everywhere therefore eliminating all commercial value to those developing and selling health supplements...same goes for quite a few marvellous plants that are so good for us but rarely mentioned by the industry You can find all details of purslane nutritional value & health benefits on line..you can grow it it yourself if you have a garden..it is a ground growing plant that likes to extend itself which means that growing in pots is not ideal even though it is possible..it grows very fast & is considered a very invasive weed by those gardeneners who ignore all its virtues .

In vegetable patches, it isn't the only weed, so if it grows like in potatoes, don't really care. It flower beds, yea, weed it out and make salad. Was surprised when found out it is edible, but it is good. And a very durable plant that can be very decorative. Maybe there are some varieties that dont spread so much.

We have alot of it growing in our yard here in the Philippines especially in summer. Beautiful flowers, we even fed it to our love birds. I didn't know it is edible. I bet it tasted like our local veggie we called "Alogbati" since you say it is kinda watery and helps in thinning blood. So i think I'll try it with our mung bean and squash soup with string beans and ground beef.

One limb broke off in transit, I put it in a jar of plain water and the next week it had roots. I will plant that in a antique green wheelbarrow I can move around during the year, and envision it overflowing with gorgeous flowers all summer, and coming back year after year. The flowers of mine are over an inch across, bright fuchsia with yellow centers.

Where it blooms you can see the tiny, REALLY tiny black seeds as the dried blooms blow away. The seeds normally fall and blow all over to reproduce itself. I pick off the tiny dried bloom heads, and put them in a container till they are dry, then shake them in a wire strainer from the dollar store, The seeds will drop through the strainer into or on a plate, and the rubbish left i tear up and shake it again to get the last seeds. You can save them or plant immediately. It's worth the effort.

I don't normally watch this type of video but liked this one. I didn't come to learn about purslane for MY consumption, but I will try some now. -- I live in the desert, just south of Phoenix, and am building an "oasis" and wildlife sanctuary on eleven acres. In more natural desert, after we've had rains and the land is drying up, there comes a point when only purslane is growing. Yet the wild animals won't touch it. Rabbits, ground squirrels, desert iguana and tortoises ignore the stuff. Yet it's edible to humans. I'm certain this is not spurge. Yes I know it's bad to eat ONLY purslane, but the animals aren't eating it even when there is variety. -- I realize you're not a botanist (or maybe you are) but I'm seeking someone who can explain this.

Wow, it looks like weeds that grow in my garden that I would discard. I hope I identify it correctly. A closer shot maybe better and of the sturge that you said so I can properly identify. I host a morning show here in Guyana, South America where I share such interesting videos that I find on KZfaq and this one is great. Make them shorter and I would show them from tine to time and I do so on Wednesdays too 😆 Thanks you

this is 2023 I just found wild purslane on my property in the Nevada desert after a lot of rain this year, I never saw it before. I ate the leaves raw and they were really good. I will keep it around and hope more grows in case the system breaks down again like in Covid 19

Ok didn't know about this plant. Here in Nakuru, Kenya is a weed that grow very easily. In my kitchen garden if I spot I have to uproot it. Has thousand of seeds

I have both in my yard, and they both grow freely in Colorado. I ate one leaf, but am a bit leery as I spray for weeds as well. I would say be careful of that, but I may grow some in my garden. I have known for years that it is edible

In the philippines, purslane is loved for salad. How can we propagate it?

@AllAboutTheHarvest Жыл бұрын

it readily self seeds here and it considered a 'weed'. If you let it go to seed you'll have more next year. You can purchase seeds online as well. If you find some live purslane you can also take a cutting and put it in water. It will start to root within a week and you can replant the rooted cuttings so you will have perpetual purslane! :-)

This stuff grows fast , I thought it was a weed! I had a garden full of them and pulled them up and put them in a mulch pile, but quickly grew back, and now that I know about them, I will use them.

Well I must try it since I have it growing in my gravel driveway. Now I have seen your video I will certainly try eating it. I suppose now I've discovered some use for this plant, there would most likely be far less amounts in my driveway.

By itself, the taste of purslane reminds me of slightly green bananas. A smoothie of purslane with a little stevia and heavy cream could be a frozen substitute for a mild banana shake. I just graze on it every time I’m in the yard.
