Purslane - Verdolagas

Purslane (verdolaga) is a succulent plant whose edible, delicious leaves are crunchy and slightly mucilaginous, with a tangy lemony and peppery flavor.

The stems are edible when still young (and can be pickled). Cooks usually keep only the leaves and thin, spindly stems at the top, which are simply plucked from the central stem. Purslane may be eaten raw in salads, tacos and more, and also added to cooked dishes.
