Purselane

This stuff grows pretty much everywhere and is commonly regarded as a weed, well, it’s not. It’s high in all kinds of anti-oxidants, is a succulent which somehow missed popularity in the recent cacti craze, has pretty little yellow flowers, and his highly nutritious. Its nearly impossible to kill, and easy to spread. I predict this overlooked little guy will hit health store shelves in the next few years, so set yourself up a little patch before everyone gets hip.

Prepare with lemon juice, salt, pepper, olive oil, with other veggies for a fresh salsa. The purselane is slimy, so offset this if you find it undesirable, a bit like okra.
