on 7/27/2008 Purslane is yummy out of the garden! Thanks for the other ideas & for spreading the word. With the economy the way it is, it's good to know you've got gourmet greens in your backyard =) Another use i've heard if you've got a large quantity - put it in a paper bag for a couple days (the dying plant will produce as many seeds as it can before it kicks) and then smack the plants against something, collecting the tiny seeds. They can be used like poppy seeds and are nutritious.
