WILD EDIBLES SCAVENGER HUNT CONTEST ENTRY - Purslane
My Entry for @papa-pepper's https://steemit.com/contest/@papa-pepper/wild-edibles-scavenger-hunt-contest-starts-now Contest.
Purslane, plenty of it.
Purslane is high in Omega 3 and has been the subject of much scientific research for this reason. It is also high in oxalic acid, so keep your quantities small.

Purslane is incredible and delicious!
Excellent entry!
Thank you @papa-pepper
There is heaps of it growing on its own accord out the back of my place.
I don't find it all that tasty though.
How do you prepare it so it is 'delicious'?
It would be a good way to control it if I could eat more of it.
Here are my suggestions: Chop it up and add it to a Soup, a Stiry-fry, a Salad, a Smoothie, put it on a Sandwich instead of lettuce. It will mix in with other plants and ingredients just fine. Chop it very fine and mix with some plain yogurt, for a dressing, sauce, or dip. Do the same using Cream Cheese, too, for a bagel spread.
Thank you @haphazard-hstead
I'll give some of those ideas a shot.
Cheers.
