Harvesting:
Pick young, tender leaves in the morning for the best flavor.
Rinse well to remove soil or grit.
In the Kitchen:
✔️ Add raw purslane to salads for a juicy crunch.
✔️ Sauté with garlic and olive oil as a side dish.
✔️ Blend into green smoothies for a nutrient boost.
✔️ Use as a topping for tacos or wraps.
👉 Tip: Combine purslane with extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice — a Mediterranean‑style dish packed with antioxidants and heart‑healthy fats.
Next time you’re barefoot in the garden, look twice before you stomp on that succulent greenery. Instead of treating it like a weed, treat it like what it truly is:
a gift from nature, a powerhouse of nutrition, and a helper for your soil.
Purslane might just be the most valuable plant growing wild in your yard.
✅ It’s a superfood hidden in plain sight.
✅ It nourishes both you and your garden.
✅ It’s free, resilient, and easy to harvest.
✨ Have you ever cooked with purslane or used it as a natural remedy?
