Purslane. Many of us think of purslane as an annoying weed often found in the cracks of our drive or walkways, maybe in the sandy open section of your garden but purslane is actually a very nutrious succulent herb. This new and upcoming addition to the edible landscape is a source for one of the highly sought after Omega-3 fatty acids, alpha linolenic acid as well as protein, vitamin E and vitamin C. No need to pay for fish oil when most of us can get it (purslane) for free. Purslane is a delicious addition to many recipes, add it raw to salads, stir fry it up, or put it in soups and sauces.
