Purslane Family
Portulacaceae
There are really only 2 edible members of the Purslane Family, purslane and miner’s lettuce. Both are considered noxious weeds to many home gardeners, but delicious succulents to others. Luckily, you probably won’t have to try too hard to plant purslane in your garden in this neck of the woods as it tends to pop up with your other vegetable seeds. Enjoy it in salads or as a snack, it’s full of wonderful nutrients!
