Do you use purslane?

[Ron Whitfield]

This nearly completely edible (leaves, stems, flowers) and healthy weed grows wild in some areas of Hawaii, but I don't recall seeing any, maybe it's hiding in plain sight

Looks pretty cool. I'll have to keep an eye out for it. Maybe I'll find some Purslane next to a Dandelion patch

There is some in the garden here in Salt Lake.

Used to get it in the garden in Chicago. My brother and I named it never-die, with the accent on the first syllable. Stuff was ubiquitous. Italian friend of mine told me his dad ate it. Never considered it. Maybe I'll have to try it.

Saw the article in the SA and sent a link to my bro in Chicago.

That's good to know, thanks.

Haha. I guess one man's garbage is another man's treasure.
