Purslane: if you think it's a weed, you've got it all wrong!
Purslane contains more Omega 3 than many fish oils! This "weed" also has one of the highest levels of vitamin A of any green leafy vegetable (1320 IU/100g, provides 44% of RDA). Vitamin A-rich foods can help protect us from many types of cancer and contribute to better eye health.
In addition, purslane abounds in two types of betalain alkaloid pigments - reddish betacyanins and yellow beta-xanthines, which are also antioxidants and antimutagens. Purslane also contains vitamin C and B-complex vitamins, including riboflavin, pyridoxine and niacin, as well as carotenoids and trace elements such as iron, magnesium and calcium.
Better than many dietary supplements!
