This was shared with us by Ecology Florida’s friend, Ann Scott. Did you know Purslane has more omega-3 fatty acids than in some of fish oils? If you aren’t familiar with the health benefits of Purslane, you can read all about it here. Enjoy!
In it’s simplest form, I just pop a bunch of Purslane in the blender along with a peeled and split grapefruit or pomelo. I have a mighty blender so I leave the pulp and seeds intact. If your blender tends to get bogged down, you might want to do a little extra work prepping, removing seeds etc. and add a little water to help it out.
I put a squirt or two of liquid Stevia or some palm sugar in the mix, but you could add any sweetener of your choice.
Add a little bit of ice and blend away.
You’ve got a Purslane powerhouse, potentially right from your own backyard.
I have experimented by combining Purslane with oranges and/or mango with a little water as well. Also delicious.
Purslane or “Pusley” has more omega-3 fatty acids than in some of fish oils.
