Good afternoon, dear guests and subscribers of the "Build for Myself" channel!
For all gardeners, weed removal is the least favorite thing.
Indeed, instead of doing useful things, you have to stand all day, or even two, to stand with the letter "siu", pulling weeds and cleaning the beds. This is because wild weeds pull on all the nutrients of the soil, thereby reducing the yield, the planted crops are braided and do not allow them to develop normally, reducing the quality fruits.
Almost all summer residents, except for weeds, also grow purslane in the garden.
Many people mistakenly consider it a weed, because purslane is not whimsical to the soil, grows in any area and sows itself.
It has very high productivity and excellent seed retention in the soil. In a matter of days, especially after the rain, it covers all the beds with a solid green carpet. It is not afraid of drought, as it belongs to succulent plants (it has a special structure of tissues that accumulate the supply of water necessary for growth).
Its official name "garden purslane" - an edible herb like parsley, dill, sorrel, garlic or arugula. Very rich in vitamins A and C. Like any other greens, it is rich in fiber, contains a number of micro and macro elements (calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, zinc, etc.)
It tastes slightly bitter and gives off sourness, so it is often used in dishes instead of capers.
In the Caucasus and Central Asia, along with other spicy herbs, purslane is also specially grown for use in food.
It goes well with meat dishes, and is suitable for fillings in various pastries such as pies and pies. At a more mature age, when the stems reach a thickness of about 5 mm. - it is pickled separately or together with vegetables such as cucumbers, tomatoes, bell peppers, etc.
There are a lot of recipes on the network for using purslane along with various dishes. Most often used in salads.
It is eaten before the flowering period. You can use both young leaves and stems. Purslane is prepared in a variety of ways: you can fry, boil, stew, marinate and eat raw. Some people also dry the culture like dill.
Dear friends, I think you learned something new for yourself from the article! I really hope that the material was useful to you.
Thanks for attention!
