We may be on to something here ~ I could make a fortune selling purslane by hawking its benefits
“… these erect, tangy and succulent stems are high in vitamin C. The leaves contain the highest concentration of Omega-3 fatty acids found in land plants. This is 5 times more than spinach and 10 times more than any lettuce or mustards. It is delicious steamed and is popular in stir-fries and Greek salads.”

I read somewhere that if you have a lot of purslane that "...it means you have great soil!!"
