What Is Purslane?

Often called common purslane, wild purslane, or by its Chinese name machixian, Portulaca oleracea is a leafy green succulent that grows abundantly in many parts of the world. Its slightly sour, refreshing taste and juicy leaves have made it a staple in Mediterranean, Asian, and Mexican cuisines. This dried herb is a whole food that can be rehydrated and used in countless ways, bringing a burst of flavor and texture to your cooking.

How to Use Purslane

The versatility of dried purslane is one of its greatest strengths. Here are several traditional ways to incorporate it into your meals:

• Make soup: Add a handful of dried purslane to broths or stews. It rehydrates quickly and imparts a mild, earthy flavor – a classic method used in many cultures.
• Used to make sauce: Grind dried purslane into a powder and blend it with yogourt, olive oil, and herbs to create a unique, nutrient-dense sauce. The powder dissolves easily and adds a subtle green color.
• Make mayonnaise: Mix finely ground purslane into home-made mayonnaise for a green, flavourful spread. This works well as a dip or sandwich condiment.
• Purslane stew: Combine dried purslane with tomatoes, onions, and your choice of protein for a hearty stew. The herb rehydrates and absorbs the flavors of the broth.
• Purslane is fried to eat: Rehydrate the dried purslane and sauté it with garlic and olive oil as a simple side dish. It can also be added to stir-fries at the last minute.

You can also steep dried purslane as a tea or grind it into a powder to add to smoothies. The possibilities are limited only by your creativity.

Who Should Consider Adding Purslane to Their Diet?

Purslane is a versatile ingredient suitable for a wide range of dietary preferences. It is naturally plant-based and free from artificial additives. It may be especially appealing to those interested in:

• Incorporating more leafy greens into their meals
• Exploring traditional foods from Mediterranean, Asian, or Mexican cuisines
