Purslane! It's reported to be extremely high in vitamins and minerals and
it grows like a weed because it is a weed. I grow the large leaf domestic
purslane but actually harvest more it the small leaf wild volunteer
purslane. After several years of growing both, I have a lot of wild
crossbreed purslane with medium sized leaves. Purslane is the most common
weed I have, growing in almost every container, pot and bed. Some people
eat it raw but to me that tastes like grass. Cooked it's delicious.

How are you cooking it that you like it so well? I've tried purslane and
mustn't have done it right, because I didn't think much of it.

I just have the wild variety and just filled 3, 5 gallon buckets with
the stuff and tossed it. I do eat some in salads though, doesn't add
much taste-wise but I figure the extra vitamins cannot hurt. Never
tried it cooked, guess I'll have to wait for the Purslane to come back
fast and furious, which it will LOL.
