Today we know Portulaca, actually today we are not talking about the ornamental one with bright and generous colors that often winks from balconies and flower boxes. No, today the scene is all for Portulaca Oleracea. A spontaneous herb which, unfortunately, has the destiny of being little appreciated, because it is little known, therefore, alas, eradicated with great ease, due to its “intrusive” character. In fact, it tends to infest our garden or the sandy places where it loves to proliferate. If we knew its properties, we would instead make a great feast. And yes, because, this plant has a lot of virtues, including being edible. Nothing is thrown away from her: leaves, flowers and seeds. You recognize it for its horizontal development with dark and robust stems compared to the rounded leaves decorated with thin small white tufts and a beautiful small yellow inflorescence.
Portulaca herb also contains good amounts of potassium and magnesium. A wonderful abundant plant with many beneficial qualities. From now on, you will no longer try to eradicate it from your garden. In fact, I think you will use it to prepare succulent vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. You can use it as you use spinach or valerian, rocket and the like. Have you ever tried to make it in batter like you do with zucchini flowers? It will amaze you. Nature is generous, just remember it and get the best information!
