Portulaca oleracea (common purslane) is free growing in my garden as it does all over the world. It has much inherent nutrition and can be utilized in salads, or cooked like spinach, or juiced as I preserve the plant. The stems, leaves and flower buds are all edible.
The plants are selected, washed, cooked until soft and blended into a slurry. The slurry is strained through a 2 mm food mill screen. There is almost no residue or gross fiber. The juice is then placed in liter jars, and pressure canned at 15 PSI for 15 minutes for long term storage at room temperature. Today 7 liters were processed.
