    Purslane Recipes

    Hi Everyone, we love purslane here and are always experimenting with this amazingly nutritious plant.

    You can do so much with this one plant and it goes with so many different flavors and cooking methods.

    Consider this post a guide and a list of recipes that you can find here on the blog.

    We will update the recipe list as we add more purslane-related recipes to the blog.

    Make sure you have a good foraging guide!

    Whether you found purslane at the farmer's market, the grocery store, your local CSA, or forage for it - there are so many recipe possibilities you can make with this unique, tasty, superfood plant!

    I use the guide (Amazon affiliate link), Northeast Foraging, for IDing plants in my area. Make sure you have a guide that reflects your local area.

    I also use the Picture This plant identification app.

    I suggest also consulting with a local expert in person or taking a class.

    The more information and research you do, the better!

    Most farmer's markets and CSA shares do sell purslane since it is pretty common, so you don't even have to go the foraging option at all!

    Beware of a look-alike plant!

    There is a poisonous plant that is a look-alike to purslane called "Spurge."

    "Spurge" creeps along the ground and has matte leaves.

    As I said above, make sure you consult your guides, talk to experts and do your research.

    You will know purslane by its thick, shiny leaves (it's actually succulent) and it grows upright.

    Purslane Guide

    What is Purslane?

    Purslane is a wild-growing succulent that is often thought of as a weed.

    According to Wikipedia:

    Portulaca oleracea is an annual succulent in the family Portulacaceae, which may reach 40 cm in height. Approximately forty cultivars are currently grown. Its specific epithet oleracea means "vegetable/herbal" in Latin and is a form of holeraceus.

    Health Benefits of Purslane

    Purslane is considered by many to be a superfood, loaded with nutrients! It is high in heart-healthy Omega-3 fatty acids (the only plant on land that has the same kind of Omega-3 fatty acids as Salmon) and beta-carotene.

    According to ncbi.nlm.nih.gov:

    It is rich in vitamin A which is a natural antioxidant value. It can play role in vision healthy mucus membranes and to protect from lung and oral cavity cancer. Purslane contains the highest content of vitamin A among green leafy vegetables.
