YUM YUM VEGGIES. DID NOT KNOW WHAT THEY WERE TILL A FEW WEEKS AGO WHEN I LOOKED UP WHAT WEEDS YOU CAN EAT. THERE IT WAS, SOMETHIG BETTER TO EAT THAN STORE BOUGHT STUFF. THANKS, FOR HAVING A PICTURE OF THIS WEED, AND IT IS VERY GOOD. I FRIED IT IN BUTTER AND ADDED GARLIC, AND ONIONS WITH IT. VERY GOOD. PURSLANE GROWS VERY GOOD AROUND MY CUCUMBERS. YUM YUM VEGGIES.

It says it grows everywhere but I cant say I've seen it in the Sierra Nevada mtns. Interesting weed.

I also grew up eating it I Mexico it's called verdolaga. Now living in Ohio, the variety of purslane that comes up in my garden doesn't look like what my mother would cook up. Are all varieties eatable? And are they flavored different? Aren’t there different varieties of purslane? I also grew up eating it I Mexico it’s called verdolaga.

It is used as a salad for people and also to feed pigs. It is also used in soups. As in other places it is also considered a weed since it grows even when you do not plant it in your garden. I am happy to know that it is actually a blessing from God, a wonderful food. In the Philippines, Purslane is called Olasiman. It is used as a salad for people and also to feed pigs.
