It is a largely forgotten green. Most botanical studies list India as the origin of purslane, and some writers, like the American expert on wild food, Euell Gibbons, have even labelled it "India's gift to the world." But it is a gift that we have largely forgotten about, since few people here eat purslane these days, or even know that this weed is edible. It is rarely cultivated, but gathered from the wild and only rarely appears in markets because few know its value.
Purslane is a highly nutritious, leafy green vegetable. It is loaded with antioxidants, minerals, omega-3 fatty acids and beneficial plant compounds. You can use purslane instead of spinach in any other recipe, like soup or curry.
