Me and my family live in Izmir, Türkiye. Mostly in summer, we eat it for breakfast without any processing, as a salad or as an appetizer with yogurt, We also eat it by adding minced meat and cooking it. This herb has a good place in Aegean cuisine. Thanks for the information!

Here in the south of Portugal there's a recipe for a soup which includes onion, a whole head of garlic (yes, a whole head), sliced potatoes, purselane, sweet chili, goat cheese and poached eggs. You put a few slices of old sour dough bread on the plate and the soup on top. It's absurdly good.

@@AwareHouseChef This lady speaks portuguese but you can easily follow the recipe just by watching: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hdmGirGA1ayviIE.html At the end she says that you can poach eggs, but that's optional. She precooks the purslane to remove a bit of the acidity, but this is also optional, I don't do it.

I just found some in my garden. I use the term garden very loosely. Basically, have sunchokes and sweet potatoes that I planted. Somehow, a little cilantro ended up there. (planted some in a planter across the yard via seeds) And, a ton of thistle that just won't go away. So, as I was pulling thistle, again, saw the purslane! I was so excited! I've known about its properties for awhile, but didn't have any on my property. It must have been in the soil and digging it up a few months ago to put the sunchokes in brought it to the surface to grow.

I am a fanatical purslane advocate among my friends. I keep purslane clippings in my fridge alo summer...add it to my fruit smoothies, tossed salad, anything simmering on the stove... I also pickle it for a crunchy healthier pickle. Add it to gumbo or any place when you don't have okra at hand. I add it it chopped in rice as it steams. Put it on a platter of veggie to nibble on. Great video, thanks. I didn't know about the kidney stones risk. Good to know. Luckily not a problem for me.

I'm of South Indian heritage. I boil lentils with some tumeric, ginger & garlic. In a separate fry pan, do the tempering - heat oil, throw in mustard seeds, cummin & finely cut onions. You could add some sliced fresh or dried chillies & fry till golden brown. Throw into the boiled lentils, add some coconut cream & the purslane. Serve with rice & pan fried fish or turmeric shrimps. Enjoy!

Thank you for this! We all tend to eat too little variety in our diets. Our grandparents all lived through horrific times by gathering what they knew was good food, and your grandparents were very intelligent to make do with what we now oddly call weeds. What really astounds me is that too many who could use the increased nutrition and reduced food expenditure, they drive right by the best, least expensive sources to purchase overpriced, tasteless corn fed meat at the store. Purslane is pretty much free, if you can identify it, and is generally growing when we most need it. My favorite is purslane, mint and barely sprouted lentils or pease soup. I add a carmalized onion on top, and if I have it, a tablespoon of heavy cream. Purslane, clover and nicely roasted carrots make a delicious side dish, if you add acidity from vinegar or lemon. Edible pine nuts add fat, and, if taken from a properly identified tree, is hard work, but it decreases my ability to chow down by the jar. I eat it chilled with soft boiled eggs for a delightful summer lunch. Thank you again for the wonderful lesson, I really enjoy it!

Grows like crazy around here, pulled one out of the ground, washed it and ate it raw just to get the full taste of it. It's really not bad! Stems are a bit earthy but they could be added to a stirrfry and cooked to get that bitterness out.

You can often find it growing wild where there is sufficient water. It has completely taken over one of my raised beds this year. Many have it in their gardens and are happy to have you come take it out if they don't eat it themselves. Oh, and it can grow from seed, too. So you could order some seeds and plant it in a place that gets a lot of rain or in a pot. It likes a lot of water.

Thank you for your kindness! Does oxlic acid dissolve in boiled spinach or does it evaporate? I’m not sure. If it’s a matter of decreasing the pH level of the acid so that it no longer has an affect on your kidney stones, then I would imagine that boiling it would be the solution. I just wonder if it’s just being diluted and rinse the way when you’re boiling it. Good question!

@@AwareHouseChef some doctors I follow have mentioned that a little sauteing of spinach, green peppers, and other veggies can help with some of the digestive issues that some will have with these.

But I do try to add them and spinach when I do make a scrambler or a stir fry. Enjoying my life more since I started eating healthier. Thank you again.
