Purslane 🆚 Spotted Spurge Purslane is one of my favorite edible garden weeds, but it has a toxic look-alike that usually grows with it, spotted spurge. Once you know what to look for these two species are easy to tell apart! Purslane has ✅ Succulent leaves and stems ✅ Clear sap Purslane does NOT have ❌ Thin, fibrous, non-succulent stems ❌ White, milky sap. #foragecolorado #foraging #eattheweeds #purslane #eatplants #garden #gardening #colorado | Forage Colorado

Purslane (Portulaca oleracea) is a great, easy-to-recognize edible plant used for food in many areas of the world. Some people object to its slippery texture when cooked; for this reason I often enjoy it raw in salads. My favorite variations are chopped into tomato-based salads with vinegar or lime, cilantro or other herbs, onion and cucumber, and maybe some whole grains. Yum! #wildfoodgirl #wildfood #Coloradoforaging #foragingthewest #foragingcolorado #ediblewildplants #foraging #wildcrafting #
