Purslane

Hey Guys
I received a bag of Purslane in my vegetable crate yesterday. I belong to an organic farm where we have a weekly delivery of whatever is picked that day. Has anyone ever used purslane? I also got pea greens but I can probably figure that one out. This "crate" is fun, Xmas every week from June first until Thanksgiving.

Thanks, Julie
I may try one of the potato salads. It smells like basil but I read that it is sticky like okra. I hope someone here can tell me from their own experience what it is like. It's fun to try new things. I got squash blossoms in the crate yesterday, what a treat. Now to find more, but I've never seent them in the markets. Very perishable. -
I also found that it is called verdolago(a) in Mexico. I have it growing all over my garden and have been too chicken to try it. Let me know if it is good or not, if you would. It is a weed here in Michigan, it takes over my garden every year. I figure if it is good and I start eating it, it will go away on it's own. lol
I also heard you can pickle the stems.

Deer and rabbits don't eat it either. Very hardy and pretty drought tolerant, never thought about eating it though.Large, small and mini now Egging in Rowlett Tx

I think it's a nasty weed. I may make potato salad and offer the purslane on the side. But it does smell good, like minty basil.
