This is purslane (Portulaca olerocea) that re-sows itself in my gardens each year. Since modernly used as a food for pigs, it also has the names pigweed, little hogweed, fatweed and pusley. It is known to most as just that, a weed. With the same uses as spinach and lettuce and a good contributer to the diet of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, magnesium, manganese, potassium, iron and calcium; it is actually a vegetable. Purslane has been cultivated as a vegetable by Europeans since the middle of the 17th century. My next receipt (recipe) – A Purslain Soup.

It is used just as you would spinach or lettuce raw and as I wrote in my blog, it is a power house of nutrients.
