I ran across a video about foraging for food & it mentioned purslane, which I have all over my yard. Apparently a very beneficial food source. I haven’t tried any yet, but was thinking of ‘harvesting’ some this afternoon to try.

“In case you want to know what other benefits you can obtain from consuming Purslane, here are some of them: It is an excellent source of vitamin A, Calcium, zinc, manganese, copper, Potassium, iron, and phosphorous. Purslane is an excellent source of alpha-linolenic acid. Alpha-linolenic is an omega-3 fatty acid which plays an essential role in human growth and development and in preventing diseases. Purslane has been shown to contain five times higher omega-3 fatty acids than spinach.”
Purslane, it’s a weed here. Spreads like one,too.....................
