The succulent leaves have a more subtle golden hue compared to Garden Purslane and are more tender with a superior flavour and very popular in French cuisine. Raw the leaves have a a peppery tang which gives them a nice contrast to other salad leaves. Golden Purslane is high in natural antioxidants and apparently contains more omega-3 fatty acids than any other leafy vegetable plant. In antiquity, it was well-known for its healing properties and it was also considered to have powers of happiness, luck, love and sleep.
