DESCRIPTION:
Start Purslane seeds for this highly nutritious, easy-to-grow annual herb. Green Purslane plants have been grown in herb gardens for hundreds of years and are native to Europe. The Green Purslane herb is upright with juicy, succulent oval leaves with a mild sweet-sour flavor. The leaves and stems are a great addition to salads. Green Purslane herb can also be steamed or added to soups, stews, and it is a great addition in stir-frys. It makes an attractive garnish too. Purslane can often be found growing in lawns or meadows. It will easily re-grow after being cut, and it spreads quickly after taking root. Purslane is considered to be a medicinal herb and is a rich source of Vitamin C. In addition, it contains alpha-linolenic acid which is an Omega-3 fatty acid. It is so simple to grow and it offers such wonderful nutritive value. While purslane is amazing for humans, it's worth noting that it contains soluble calcium oxalates which can be toxic to pets.
