This weed is the bane of my vegetable garden each year. Turns out it's edible and highly nutritious! I'll be throwing it in the juicer now instead of the compost. :) - Ken Morley

"Nutritionally, purslane is a powerhouse. It has more than double the omega-3s that kale has and, as far as I know, more than any other leafy green ever analyzed. It has over four times the vitamin E of turnip leaves, more than any other leafy green ever analyzed. It has glutathione and other antioxidants and about as much iron as spinach. It also has reasonable amounts of other nutrients as well as phytochemicals, like all these leafy greens." - Ken Morley

My parents get this in their farm share every year - it is pretty tasty. - Jennifer Dittrich

Used to grow this at my old place. I'd add it to spinah and chicken dishes. - Anika

I think it was present in in some soil I got a few years back. It's spread to all my garden beds now. - Ken Morley

it has a slightly tart, refreshing taste. i like it. you can make a salad of it with tomatoes, garlic, olive oil and lemon juice. or mix it with yoghurt and garlic for a spread or side dish. in turkey it is quite a popular vegetable, we make a dish of it with a soffrito of tomatoes and onion, you can also add mince meat and a little bit of rice. actually i had the dish for lunch today :) - grizabella
