My husband and I have been doing research on vegetables and plants that are packed with many vitamins and minerals but yet you don't need to eat a lot of them. We discovered that Purslane is one of them. This plant/weed is packed with Omega 3-fatty acids, and some would classify it as an herb. It is packed with Vitamin A, C, riboflavin, niacin, pyridoxine, iron, magnesium, and more. It grows very easily. Here, we see it growing through the sidewalk and asphalt cracks. I plucked some from a flower bed yesterday just to experiment how it would do indoors in a sunny area of my home. Supposedly it also flowers. Anyone seen it in your area?
