In this video I will show you how to identify the edible weed Purslane in your own garden. I will also give you one example of how to cook with it however this lovely edible plant is extremely flexible and can be eaten raw as a vegan source of Omega 3 DHA and EPA.
Purslane contains more omega 3 fatty acids than any other plant source in the solar system, and an extraordinary amount for a plant, some 8.5 mg for every gram of weight. It has vitamin A, B, C and E — six times more E than spinach — beta carotene — seven times more of that than carrots — magnesium, calcium, potassium, folate, lithium — keep you sane — iron and is 2.5% protein. Two pigments, one in the leaves and one in the yellow blossoms, have been proven anti-mutagenic in lab studies, meaning they help keep human cells from mutating, which is how cancer gets started.
Be warned than over 80% of the plants on this planet are poisonous to humans… I take no responsibility if you get it wrong and kill yourself.. k thanks

animal cruelty how horrible of you.
i heard you do hits
why even bother cooking it?
We eat them a lot in mexican cooking. I'm surprised not many people know about it tho.
Cermit the chicken will grow.
High carb low fat??? Which century do you live in??? That's the perfect advice for developing diabetes and heart disease.
Buddy just a suggestion. There are good fats, and many of them improve the nutritional value of other foods. Don't avoid them.
i have so much plant in my yard..thanks for the info.
this was great!!! lol
U should feed UR an Cheeken Purslane so dat it can growe
What a wanker
Oils oxidize when cooked butter does not.
I have this in my yard. I don't have one with a red dot but I do have it where red is going around at the border of th leaf. Is that ok or is that poisonous also?
😂
Loved the video man!
Fuck vegan diet. I love my steaks and eggs, you sissy
Montagnard people we eat it too cock with fish , chicken, beef it’s tasty.
this made me laugh… you can eat the stems. its tedious to cut off only the leaves and you would need to harvest large amounts if your only eating the leaves. you are eating it as though its a seasoning, hahaha i never saw someone make that little purslane
Wow, we call them 'krokot' in Indonesia. We use them in 'petjel', indonesian salad. Delicious!
Ahh yes!! blast that purslane out my a55hole in the morning !!
We dipped in boiling water ( half cook ) and eat with lunch or dinner.
We cook with meat and make a delicious curry in Pakistan
Why it's not in my garden .how where to get it .
🙏🏼 Peace and Blessings
When in doubt take a bag of purselane weeds to the plant nursery, they will let you know if it is edible. TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS.

Disagree about low fat. We eat high healthy fat, low carb, moderate protein & stay quite healthy.
