Extremely rich in omega-3 acids, purslane has anti-inflammatory properties, promotes blood circulation and prevents deposits that can damage and clog arteries. It thus prevents cardiovascular disease (heart attacks, etc.). In addition, purslane contains high doses of vitamins C and E, beta-carotene and glutathione, giving it anti-oxidant activity, which is why it is prescribed for use against ageing. Finally, it is also used in cases of muscular contractures.
in the ground
Sow light-colored, directly in warm soil, in rows 25 cm apart. Keep soil cool until seedlings appear. Thin to 20 cm on the row. Staggered sowing ensures regular production of tender leaves.
Harvest by cutting stems 10 cm from the ground. Pick leaves and stems 1? to 2 months after sowing, as and when required. Purslane resprouts spontaneously. A single plant can produce several harvests a year.
