Purslane often grows unnoticed between paving stones and in the garden—yet this plant, often dismissed as a weed, can be a surprisingly valuable wild vegetable. In this video, we show you how to identify purslane, distinguish it from toxic spurge, and use it safely.
You will learn which parts of the plant are edible, why it withstands heat and drought remarkably well, and how to use it in salads, stir-fries, and soups, or pickled. Important information regarding oxalates is also covered.
