To give a practical example, 100 grams of purslane leaves – oleracea variety – contain 350 mg of omega-3 fatty acids despite all other sources of plant origin. The sativa type is very easy to grow and is often found in some gardens.

Don’t forget its rich contribution in vitamin A – B-C – E as well as beta-carotene.

Let's take stock of the situation? Not all weeds are harmful to the garden, in fact purslane is excellent because it is edible and has been known for centuries for its healing qualities.

Before consuming it, always seek advice from your doctor.
