About Purslane
Purslane is a leafy green vegetable with thick, succulent stems and small, oval leaves, often celebrated for its impressive health benefits. Native to regions of Asia, the Mediterranean, and the Middle East, it is widely used in salads, soups, and stews across various cuisines. Nutritionally, purslane is a powerhouse, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins A, C, and B-complex, and essential minerals like magnesium, potassium, and iron. It also contains antioxidants, including beta-carotene, which support skin health and reduce inflammation. Purslane is naturally low in calories, making it a great addition to weight-conscious diets. Some varieties may have a slightly tangy or lemony flavor, enhancing its appeal in fresh dishes. However, individuals with kidney issues should moderate consumption due to its oxalate content, which may contribute to kidney stone formation. Overall, purslane is a vibrant, nutrient-packed plant that supports heart health and general well-being.
