I read that Purselane was edible and gave it a try, since I had a patch of it growing in my garden. Thoroughly delightful! Mild flavor with a consistency like spinach.

FYI, you can also freeze it. Just stuff a quart-size freezer bag with it and throw it in the freezer. Then you can chop some up to add to soups etc in the winter. Good vitamin A and vitamin C content, and a good source of minerals.

Nasturtium leaves are quite tasty.

When I was a Boy Scout, we ate all sorts of wild plants.

I enjoyed the flavor and texture of Purselane, more than I expected. Weeds sometimes have unique flavors (I know dandelions are bitter) but I had no complaint with Purselane.

Then again, my weeding chores just got easier. ;)
