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.

So that's what that stuff is. I pull that out of my flower beds.

I also put Flax oil in my Protein smoothies, I don't know if the plant would make those too inviting.
