Common Purslane
3,78 $
When it comes to common purslane, saying “ancient vegetable” is an euphemism; purslane was known by the Egyptians 4000 years ago. It was then, like many other plants, “forgotten”. It is nonetheless making a comeback on our market shelves thanks to market gardeners growing ancient varieties. In a salad or mesclun, purslane is eaten fresh. Its leaves are tender and filled with omega-3 and antioxidants. It is also emollient, detoxifying, diuretic, and laxative if eaten in large quantities. Chewing on a couple leaves will soothe gum inflammation and mild sore throats.
