Shortly after germinating, it produces yellow, purple, and pink flowers, and later becomes edible. Purslane is especially recommended during dieting, as it has a filling effect. Its slightly tangy flavor helps speed up metabolism and makes it easier for the body to stay active. Purslane adds a wonderful flavor alongside meat and fish, and pairs beautifully with certain vegetables, just as in our Purslane and Zucchini Dish recipe.
