Verdolagas, also known as purslane (Portulaca oleracea), is an edible succulent commonly found worldwide. It offers nutritional benefits, being rich in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins. In late spring, it appears in gardens, tender and perfect for foraging. Ensure it hasn't been treated with herbicides or pesticides. If not available in your garden, you can find it at farmers' markets from late spring to mid-summer. We enjoy it for lunch with warm tortillas. Purslane can be used fresh in salads or cooked. You can also add it to your favorite Mexican salsa verde recipe. The tomatillos are a great compliment.
