About Purslane
Purslane is the edible weed that spontaneously sprouted in my new garden space. Purslane is now the beautiful succulent that has now become the garden.
I started a garden at my new abode with an intent to have a hot pepper garden. I started from seeds and added beets, radishes, collards, and kale seeds to the mix; a long story ensues and the result is a purslane garden with starters taken from a local park and the spontaneous growth of new plants from ideal conditions.

"Well, there's the bright, juicy, lemony flavor, for one thing. But then there are the health benefits. It has higher omega-3s than any other plant (and is way cheaper than salmon), and high levels of melatonin, a hormone that’s great for regulating sleep."

"Many people don’t realize that the Purslane plant is contemplated as a superfood due to the number of vitamins and minerals it offers."

"If there is a more misunderstood garden weed than purslane, I don’t know what it is."
