Purslane is sold at Farmer's Markets and grows wild in gardens. It is high in nutrients and low in calories. The plant is 92% water and is similar to cabbage. It tastes good too. Can be added to salads, eat it raw. Dandelion has many values too. It can act as a diuretic and clean up the system of toxic matter. (bitter taste though if used alone). Do not eat the flower stalks or seeds. Remember we are NOT Doctors and have NO medical training. This site is like an Encylopedia - there are many pages, many links on many topics.
