pourpier

purslane

Closeup of purslane growing on a street in La Paz, BCS, MX.

Pourpier aka purslane has a slight citrusy taste and is rich in Omega 3 and is good for you, so they say, but it grows like Topsy in our garden and everywhere where we don’t want it!!

The French sometimes add it to mesclun.
