Lucky you! It's a good wild veggie with many healthy benefits. In GTA,

I never found it from any supermarket. I got some of this purslane unexpectedly in my vegetable garden as well. I was very happy to find them though they were very very tiny. I kept them carefully whenever I pulled away other weeds. They are much bigger now, but I am still growing them and haven't picked them yet. I guess they came with the top soil or organic fertilizers I bought. 😄

At my plot, this is a weed.
In a grocery store, the same thing...

LOL. They will stay in your backyard forever. From now on you'll be able to enjoy it every year! How do you cook it? -sailor(Ocean & Mountain); 2019-8-12 (#5589@4096)

For fresh one, I would stir-fry it with any red peppers(such as, red Sheppard pepper, red field pepper, or red bell/sweet pepper) and a little bit of garlic. -freshandelegant(); 2019-8-13 (#5592@4096) +1
For dried purslane, you can cook it with any of meat, egg, fish, tofu, potato, bitter melon, winter melon, opp squash, eggplant, bamboo shoots, etc. Or, you can just cook it alone by steaming it or making soup. -freshandelegant(); 2019-8-13 {149} (#5593@4096) +1
In my memory, the dried purslane made by my mom is one of the most delicious foods I had. But I have no experience on making dried purslane yet. 😊

Good to know! Never knew I can dry them. Will try this year. -sailor(Ocean & Mountain); 2019-8-13 (#5594@4096)

Wish you a success.😄 -freshandelegant(); 2019-8-14 (#5602@4096)

So yummy, dried purslane! -cc-pc(); 2019-8-13 (#5596@4096)

Yes, it is. Do you have any tips for making dried purslane? 😄 -freshandelegant(); 2019-8-14 (#5601@4096)

I have to ask my mom if she knows how...will let you know once I get the tips. -cc-pc(); 2019-8-14 (#5611@4096)

Thanks! -freshandelegant(); 2019-8-14 (#5614@4096)

I often ate dried purslane when I was young. Learnt a new word, thank you! -cc-pc(); 2019-8-12 (#5587@4096)

You're welcome. Me too to know it's English name. I thought it was pigweed, but turn out that pigweed is another veggie. -sailor(Ocean & Mountain); 2019-8-12 (#5588@4096)

I know nothing about plants, flowers, or animals or gardening. I am such a boring person, actually. Now I hope to know their names at least :) -cc-pc(); 2019-8-12 (#5591@4096)

I found that, when I see a new veggie, if I only get its English name, then I don't need to find its Chinese name. This somehow help me to think in English. -sailor(Ocean & Mountain); 2019-8-13 (#5595@4096)

Good idea. I'll try this way. -cc-pc(); 2019-8-13 (#5597@4096)
