Purslane is a plant that grows in gardens like a weed. Most people tend to get rid of it as soon as it starts growing, however, this plant offers many benefits that very few people are aware of. Here are 8 good reasons to grow purslane in your garden:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Purslane
Purslane in your garden<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Purslane is an annual herbaceous plant that forms clumps. It has long, creeping stems and is covered with small, round, oily, soft green leaves. Between July and October it is adorned with small yellow flowers. We taste its fresh leaves that have a slightly acidic and spicy flavor. It grows spontaneously in the gardens of southern France, but it is possible to grow it in your garden, or in a pot, if your soil does not adapt!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) spreads its succulent stems, whose fleshy tissues are rich in water, at ground level in late summer. Mistakenly considered a weed, it is actually one of the oldest plant plants. Imported from the East by the Romans, then abandoned over time, it has become naturalized in our gardens. Jean-Baptiste de La Quintinie, Louis XIV’s gardener, had empirically intuited the excellent nutritional properties of purslane and considered it a “healthy salad”. It is also a bioindicator plant, that is, it provides information about the nature of the soil. If it is very present, it is because the soil is too compact, lacks air and is deficient in calcium. Also, it testifies to a dry substrate in summer that has difficulty fixing the elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8 good reasons to grow purslane in your garden:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. FIGHT DEPRESSION:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Purslane leaves are a good source of Omega-3, which is an excellent fuel for the brain, prevents heart failure, and is an excellent treatment for depression. According to Mother Earth Living, you can replace your leafy green vegetables on your plates with purslane leaves. Use them to garnish your snacks, add them to soups, stews and above all, to all your salads! Purslane has a spicy taste and can sometimes be harsh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contraindication:<\/strong> Avoiding purslane consumption during pregnancy allows the uterine muscles to contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. HYDRATION:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Purslane is made up of 93% water. Use this herb to recharge dehydrated cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In ancient Greece, purslane was already used to soothe inflammation of the skin but also of the mucous membranes. Purslane will also be effective in the treatment of respiratory inflammations, such as sore throats, but also urinary inflammations, such as painful cystitis. In addition, purslane has diuretic properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
