Hi, I'm thrilled to find a group about purslane! It's one of my fav edible weeds!
I've been eating purslane for many years. But this year, I've got this one popping up. You can see the common wild purslane in the right side of the pic - it looks a bit darker. The main plant has slightly pointy leaves and orange flowers instead of yellow.
Also, the stalks are slightly ridged, whereas the wild purslane stalks are smoother and rounder.
Is this another variety of purslane, or another plant entirely? I am mainly interested in its nutritional value so don't much care if it doesn't taste as good. I just want to make sure it isn't a poisonous lookalike before I start chomping away on it!
Thanks!
