The golden form of purslane comes true from
seed and tastes the same as green purslane, but it is much more ornamental. A border of
golden purslane planted with round black Italian kale in the potager makes a terrific
combination. Purslane is one of the richest known plant sources of omega-3 fatty acids.
It is an excellent addition to salads and can be tossed briefly in stir-fries.
