I think it’s fair to say that the majority of us have got so used to buying our groceries in stores that we’ve forgotten the huge offerings readily provided by Mother Nature.
Go out in the right forest during the right season and you can find all sorts of wonders waiting to be picked (please proceed with extreme caution while foraging things like mushroom).
And yet when I first heard about purslane I knew it was going to be something that would be extremely useful to educate myself on.
Purslane is known as a weed across many cultures, but it’s actually a green, leafy vegetable that not only can be eaten, but probably should be eaten, in the same way as other greens like spinach and lettuce.
