It will be less bitter if harvested later in the day. The reason is that like many other succulents and cacti, it uses what's known as CAM photosynthesis (crassulean acid metabolism), whereby its pores are closed during the day to prevent water loss. It opens them at night to take in co2 and stores it over the course of the day as an acid. Therefore, picking it toward the evening gets you a slightly different tasting plant.

My grandmother (Mexican indigenous) would take me purslane-picking (Texas panhandle) when I was young (6 -16). She had a simple recipe; Saute onions and garlic in oil or butter, add purslane (stem with leaves cut into ~ 2" long pieces) for 10 minutes. (Salt/pepper) Add fresh diced tomatoes and cook until tender. Serve on a hot tortilla. Delicious!

I use it in my omelettes all through summer. Pros: It does give off some Dopamine so has a relaxing effect, if eaten regularly. There are a number of very mellow people who have consumed it on a regular basis, Ghandi, Thoreau etc. Parasites hate it, tapeworms especially. Cons: It can be high in Oxalic acid, so people who are prone to kidney stones need to not eat bucket loads of it. My garden is fenced off so stray dogs do not get to cock their legs on it. If you are in an area that is open to the public, grab some and replant, then use it next year it will self-propagate easily by seed. You will see small yellow flowers all over it if left to go to seed.

You are the first and perhaps the only person to comment on its high oxalate content. My mother loves purslane and she serves it as the primary green in salads. I wondered why my joints would begin to feel creaky after certain dinners at her home. People with kidney problems and gout should put it on their list of high oxalate foods to avoid.

Purslane is commonly used in my culture, Kurdish, we call it Perpeena. It is either roughly chopped along with stems, lightly blanched, then after it cools down, mix with thick natural yoghurt (like Greek yoghurt) and either chopped onions or garlic. It's kept in a large container in the fridge for weeks, and served as a dip, to be enjoyed with bread for a light supper. Another recipe is to saute with onions and tomato puree, add chicken stock and seasoning, and serve as a stew served with rice.

I use purslane as a ground cover in my gardens. They get lovely yellow flowers on them in the fall. They help to shade the ground and preserve the moisture in my soil in our hot summers. I deliberately keep pots of them throughout the property.
@TheNotsoignorant 4 жыл бұрын
All my edible weeds like purslane, amaranth, chickweed, sorrel & lambs quarters are used as a living mulch in my vegetable gardens to keep the soil from drying out & to keep out the useless weeds out. I harvest them when they're at their peak & we enjoy them immediately or I freeze some but I always leave a few plants to reseed themselves. Many of these "weeds" are natural soil amendments that add valuable nutrients back into the soil. They are friends of a permaculture garden.

@@kidovthe1truekingahillbill586 I had planted a beautiful annual flower bed along my retaining wall but a few years ago I started to get these "pricker weeds" and I would yank them out and get torn up in the process. Thorny suckers. Well when I was going thru chemo, I didn't get out to the garden until mid summer and that's when I realized those pricker weeds were blackberries! So, I've taken on a whole new approach to that garden ... it's my blackberry patch. Best part is ... I don't have to do a thing! Now it doesn't present as a 'pretty' element of my yard, but after surviving cancer I realized that stressing over flowers was wasting energy. So I did the next best thing ... kinda. At my local dollar store, I picked up $20 worth of fake flower stems and stuck them in the ground in front of the blackberries. I admit that I got a giggle out of watching the local wildlife checking them out and scratching their little heads. Being on the east coast ... winters can get gloomy but my fake flowers retain their color and look stupendous popping out of the snow. I grew up on a farm and know the taboo that I'm commiting with the plastic plants....but ask me if I care. Haha.... I prefer the plants that literally give back!

I am definitely going to try leaf salad. We have lockdown and this is nutritious and tasty.

Here in Memphis Farmer Markets purslane is sold by its Spanish name “VERDOLAGA”. The plant is of Middle Eastern origin and is known as Khorfa in Arabic and Farsi, and Korfa in Urdu. Anyway, let me share an Afghan recipe with you. You can cook a wonderful dish out of purslane by using the leaves only. The leaves are cooked with mung beans. The mung beans are put in water overnight to soften. Then boiled in water ( add small amount of salt) for 15 to 20 minutes to become edible soft. In the mean time prepare purslane as you said, cook it with some oil, salt and black pepper, then add the mung beans, and cook it further, It is ok that mung beans become mushy. Keep the recipe simple as far as spices are concerned. Black pepper and salt should do. A little amount of sautéed onion in the beginning would help the taste, where the leaves are put in the pot with the oil and sautéed onions, and cooked. When water is needed while cooking add beef stock. When cooked put some yogurt on top, eat with flat bread which Afghans call naan ( yes that name went from Afghanistan to India).

The prophet Job asks “Can that which is tasteless be eaten without salt, or is there taste in the slime of the purslane?” The 'slime' probably refers to the mucilaginous nature of purslane. Toxic to cats. Oxalate acid in seeds can harm people prone to kidney stones. Touted for high vitamin A and reduction of inflammation and scarring in liver. Do your research and consult with your doctor. Middle Eastern origin.

Thank you :) I make a stew of washed red lentil (1C), carrot (x2 large chunks), cauliflower (1/2 of whole), brown onion (1 medium), curry leaves (one stem - optional), fresh finely chopped ginger (1to 2t), ground turmeric (1t) - fry on medium in 1T canola oil. Add just enough water to cover (maybe 3-4 cups), bring to boil, cover, reduce to low, cook 30 mins. Add fair amount of (Maldon) salt to taste after 30 mins of cooking, followed by a sprinkle of 1/2t un-roasted curry powder (optional.) Handful of purslane (stems and leaves) can be stirred in at this stage to wilt a little. Has a bit of the slimy feel, but I don't mind it. Optional but very tasty addition: In a small pan, heat 2T of (canola) oil. Add 1 to 5 dry red chilli (Omit chilli if not desired), 1t black mustard seeds, 1/2t cumin seeds. Place splatter guard over immediately while they pop and chillies darken slightly. Then still while it's hot, pour the entire oil mix over the lentil stew. It will sizzle and splatter. This adds a whole other dimension of smokey spicy flavour. Stir gently to incorporate, do not stir too much. Enjoy with rice or bread.

As a Mexican I grew up eatting this. Called verdolagas in the morning saute with onions and scramble eggs. Later with a green sauce and pork cubes, or with beef or chicken with other sauces we used the stems too. I made them once in mole. But I never tried it raw in a salad, I will soon. You can also buy it at a mexican markets, so you can see it touch it and make no mistakes.

Purslane is AWESOME and delicious! It's just one of the several, edible, "weeds" which appear every year in my garden. Along with purslane, come lambs quarters, wood sorrel (mistakenly called sweet clover), night shade, milkweed, and plantain, to name a few. Purslane is, by far, the most delicious. I mean, it tastes really good.

Best prepping channel EVER! Your gentleness of spirit and love of God permeate all you share with us. I'm new to subject matter, partly motivated by the fact that this earth is not my home, and when my times comes, I'll be singing & shouting praise. If God chooses to keep me here, well then..... One thought niggles at the back of my mind. 20 years of food storage? I'm investing my energies in learning to identify nutrition to supplement my 7 year store. There's a young man in Canada who does fantastic videos on eg. making tea from pine and cedar "leaves". When Europeans came over, scurvy was a scourge. Not among the indigenous people. Pine is extremely high in Vitamin C. It's sap makes a tasty gum. Don't even get me started on cattails...! I see so much energy & money being spent on preserving what we know, when a better mindset might be to learn to adapt to what is there. Proverbs 3: 5,6.

Yeah, probably just eat it raw and the leaves only. Similar problem with spinach - too much and cooked can cause stones to form. Due to lifelong kidney issues I've started seeing improvement in the kidneys doing 4-days long strict dryfasts recommended by Professor Valter Longo at UCLA Dept. of Longevity, and Dr. Pompa on his youtube channel. It really works and cleans up skin issues too (the skin is the third kidney).

They're easy to grow, don't need much of attention, just give them some good soil and water twice a day, they grow strong, clean and come back every year. My mom uses it like vegetable to cook soup or just steam it and dip in the sauce. Even though it grow like weed but it's a gem in the wild God gives to us but not many people know it.

Yes, purslane is a wonderfully nutritious plant! I enjoy it as a raw addition to my salads. The plants pop up on their own in my garden every year. I am very careful about where I let purslane establish itself though, and I keep a watchful eye on the plants. When the weather gets hot and sunny they grow very quickly and if you let a large plant flower and go to seed you will have thousands of little plants all over for many, many years!
