It slips discreetly between the paving stones, settles into your flowerbeds without warning… and yet, this long-unloved plant is on its way to becoming the star of our gardens! What if purslane had much more to offer than we think? Unique flavor, astonishing virtues, and disconcertingly simple to grow… Here’s why you’ll adopt it without hesitation!
-
A plant that grows on its own (and everywhere!)
You don’t need a green thumb to grow purslane! This small succulent plant, with its drop-shaped leaves, thrives in the most unlikely places: pathside verges, patio crevices, etc. A little sun, moderate watering, and it thrives effortlessly . A joy for gardeners in a hurry or those who aren’t lucky enough to have a large garden.
-
A concentrate of benefits in each leaf
Despite its unassuming appearance, purslane is a true nutritional gem. It’s particularly prized for its richness in omega-3s, the good fatty acids often associated with oily fish. It’s one of the most concentrated plants in this category! Added to this are antioxidants, magnesium, iron, calcium… in short, a real cocktail of nutrients to help you face busy days.
-
A surprising flavor to liven up your dishes
Purslane is a bit like a subtle lemon with a hint of pepper. Crisp and slightly tangy, it adds character to any salad or toast. It pairs wonderfully with tomatoes, cream cheese, or even in a homemade pesto as a substitute for basil: original and delicious!
