Purslane is no more just a weed........but great vegetable..

It's high time people knew the food value of this weed as a nutritious vegetable..yes, purslane or pigweed...........many of its relatives like moss rose are ornamental plants...
But, this one is perfectly edible...don't be scared by its mucilages...after all, the slimy okras are so much popular....
These ground-cover succulents need minimal care ............ and way healthier than the pesticide-sprayed market vegetables...
Our yard in Sundargarh has plenty of  this plant .........


Most of the whole food grocery stores in California stock it now-a-days...
I have grown a few in my container garden....
