Outsidepride Purslane - 5000 Seeds
Purslane (Portulaca Oleracea Sativa) - Purslane is a succulent, sprawling, annual herb plant that you can see growing in lawns and meadows. Purslane is an upright herb with juicy, succulent oval leaves and mild sweet-sour flavor. Plants will re-grow after cutting. Purslane leaves and stems are great raw in salads. You can steam them or add them to soups, stews, and other vegetable dishes. The leaves of purslane resemble small wedges and, like the stem, are juicy. The tiny black purslane herb seeds are hardly larger than grains of salt. If you look very carefully at the end of summer, you may be able to find them pouring out of tiny capsules smaller than a filling in a tooth. Purslane just happens to contain alpha-linolenic acid, one of the highly sought-after Omega-3 fatty acids. Why pay money for fish oil when you can grow your own Omega-3 fatty acids as part of your edible landscaping? Especially when it takes little effort to grow purslane, since it does grow like a weed. Purslane herbs are also very high in Vitamin C.
