Purslane (Portulaca_oleracea) Posted on June 23, 2021 by Durgan 23 June 2021 Purslane 23 June 2021 Purslane Portulaca oleracea - Wikipedia Portulaca_oleracea Internet summary. Probably the most common weed in a garden. I use it as a early Spring table green. I pull the whole plant and wash several times to remove debris and root dirt.It is cooked about 20 minutes in a pot with a insert for steaming. It is eaten like spinach or beet greens. Goes well with a touch of vinegar. It is the earliest green in the Spring.
That is a delicious weed. I like it in salads. I have seen seed of improved varieties for sale, but always have just eaten the wild stuff. And it's nutritious. Portulaca oleracea Green Purslane, Little hogweed PFAF Plant Database
