Love for Purslane

Hello! No more summer laziness. From now on more BLOGGING! A couple of weeks ago I got my hands on some lovely purslane. I GOT SO EXCITED. Purslane (in swedish; portlak) is a huuuge favorite of mine. But sadly, it’s really hard to find. At least where I live. It’s such a shame considering how nutritious it is. When I was a kid my mom used to grow it in our garden. So if you’re lucky enough to have a garden - grow some purslane! 

“Researchers have found that purslane has the highest amount of omega 3 & Vitamin A among plants. Purslane is not only a good source of fatty acid, it also offers plenty of minerals, including, zinc, phosphorus, manganese, copper, magnesium and calcium.”

Also, don’t you just love the name? Purslane. Purslane. Purslane.
