Finding Purslane:

The first step in enjoying purslane is finding it, and you might be surprised to know that it often grows in unexpected places, like the cracks of your sidewalk. However, it’s crucial to ensure you pick purslane from areas that haven’t been sprayed with chemicals or pesticides to avoid any contamination.

Preparing Purslane for Eating:

Now that you’ve located your purslane, it’s time to prepare it for consumption. One of the challenges with purslane is that it can have tough stems that aren’t particularly enjoyable to eat. To make the most of this plant, follow these simple steps:

1. 1. Pick the Tiny Pieces: Instead of attempting to consume the entire plant, focus on the small, tender leaves and stems. These are the parts that offer the best flavor and texture. Avoid the larger, tougher stems.
