Weeds in the garden
Not everyone knows that the leaves of this plant provide a good supply of Omega 3 essential for fighting inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases. In addition, they improve blood circulation and reduce bad cholesterol levels. So, don’t you dare pull them out!
To give a practical example, 100 grams of purslane leaves – variety oleracea – contain 350mg of Omega3 fatty acids despite all other sources of plant origin. The sativa type is very easy to grow and can often be found in some gardens.

Not to mention its richness in Vitamin A – B -C-E as well as beta-carotene.

Shall we assess the situation? Not all weeds are harmful to the garden, in fact purslane is excellent because it is edible and has been known for centuries for its healing qualities. In ancient Egypt, they made extensive use of this plant, and then passed on the tradition to Arab cultures who taught its use throughout the Mediterranean.

Beneficial plant purslane
Traditional medicine has always taken it into consideration to counteract the itching of insect bites as well as to treat intestinal disorders. It is eaten raw or cooked as an addition to salads and soups, remembering that it has the same effect as chemical herbicides on the soil (when it grows it pollutes the garden).
