Purslane
Purslane is a succulent leafy green used in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and Mexican cuisines for salads, stews and as a tangy garnish; it’s also commonly foraged and sold as Verdolaga or Portulaca oleracea. Nutritionally, Purslane is notable for being a source of plant-based omega-3 fats and fat-soluble antioxidants such as vitamin E and provitamin A, and it provides about 310µg of vitamin K per 100g—making it particularly rich in that nutrient. It also supplies modest protein and fiber while remaining very low in calories. From a health perspective, Purslane is valued for its omega-3 content and antioxidant vitamins, which support heart and eye health, and for its vitamin K, which contributes to normal blood clotting and bone metabolism; it’s a nutrient-dense choice to add variety to salads, soups and sautés.
