If You Ever See This Growing In Your Yard, Don’t Pick It!

How to Identify Useful Weeds. We hate weeds and try to kill them with every possible kind of pesticide. However, not all of them are equally terrible, and some are even served at restaurants these days and have a bunch of healthy benefits. Purslane can grow pretty much anywhere without any sort of human assistance and is a natural store of omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, B-family vitamins, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium, calcium, and copper. It’s good for your heart, bones, intestines, skin, eyes, improves the quality of your sleep and helps you lose weight.
Many websites, such as Epicurious, have recipes including purslane these days. It’s pretty versatile and goes well in many dishes, including sandwiches, salads, and lettuce wraps. You can also make fried or pickled purslane.

SUMMARY
-Purslane (also known as wild portulaca, rock moss, and moss rose) is a succulent-like annual plant that can grow pretty much anywhere without any sort of human assistance.
-With higher omega-3 levels than some fish oils, purslane is an excellent remedy for making your cardiovascular system stronger.
-You can eat just purslane for a meal and feel full soon after without taking in too many bad calories.
-Its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antifungal properties make purslane an excellent cure for different intestinal conditions.
-When combined with some other healthy ingredients, purslane makes life easier after bee stings and even snake bites.
-The powerful antioxidants in it (such as vitamins C and A) can help prevent lung and oral cancers.
-Melatonin is another great component in purslane that makes it a perfect solution for those who have problems with sleep.
-There’s also a good amount of beta-carotene in purslane, which works together with vitamin A to improve your eye health.
-Purslane could help to enrich your bones with healthy minerals. Those minerals include calcium, magnesium, iron, and manganese.
-If you see a plant with small yellow flowers, smooth succulent leaves an inch to 2 inches long, and reddish stems in your driveway or yard, it’s likely to be purslane. Clip off the top few inches (the younger leaves), and use them as a healthy supplement to your diet.
