🥗 How to Eat Purslane Every Day
Purslane has a crisp texture and a refreshing, slightly sour, lemony-salty taste — perfect for:
Raw in salads (mix with tomatoes, cucumber, feta, and olive oil)
Sautéed with garlic and olive oil
Blended into smoothies or green juices
Added to soups, stews, or omelets
👉 Tip: The stems and leaves are both edible — the younger, the better.
You can forage it (if pesticide-free), grow it in a pot, or find it at farmers’ markets and Middle Eastern grocery stores.
⚠️ A Word of Caution
While purslane is safe for most people, keep in mind:
It contains oxalates — those with kidney stones should consume it in moderation
Avoid if you’re allergic to succulents or related plants
Wash thoroughly — especially if foraged
