Approximately 200 seed per pack.

Origins and History

Purslane is an ancient plant with a long global history. Likely originating in the Middle East or India, it spread across Europe, Africa, and Asia, where it became a foraged staple and medicinal herb. The Greeks and Romans valued purslane as both a vegetable and a healing plant, while in Indigenous traditions across the Americas, it was gathered for its nutritional richness. Though often dismissed today as a weed, purslane has been cherished for centuries as a resilient, drought-tolerant, and highly nourishing heirloom green.

Appearance and Characteristics

Purslane is a low-growing, sprawling succulent with reddish stems and fleshy, paddle-shaped green leaves. Its small yellow flowers open in full sunlight, and the plant produces tiny black seeds in abundance. Adapted to hot and dry conditions, purslane thrives in compacted soils where other crops might fail. Its crunchy texture and slightly tangy, lemony flavor are hallmarks that distinguish it from common weeds.

Culinary Uses

Highly nutritious, purslane is one of the richest plant sources of omega-3 fatty acids, as well as vitamins A, C, and E, magnesium, and potassium. Its tender leaves and stems can be eaten raw in salads, blended into smoothies, or used as a garnish. Cooked, purslane is common in Middle Eastern stews, Mexican green sauces (verdolagas), and stir-fries in Asia. Its mucilaginous quality also makes it useful for thickening soups and stews, much like okra.

Growing Tips 

Purslane grows well in USDA Zones 2–11 and is especially well-suited to hot, arid climates. It prefers poor, sandy soils and full sun. Direct sow seeds after the danger of frost has passed, planting them shallowly at about ¼ inch (0.6 cm) deep. Seeds germinate quickly in warm soil, often within 7–10 days. Because purslane self-seeds prolifically, once established it often returns year after year without replanting.

Harvesting Guidance

Purslane can be harvested as soon as plants reach 4–6 inches in length. Cut the tender tips and side branches with scissors or pinch them off by hand to encourage regrowth. Harvest in the cool morning hours when the leaves are crisp and full of moisture. For a continual supply, cut plants back regularly before they flower, as older stems can become woody. Purslane can be enjoyed fresh, lightly cooked, or preserved by pickling.

Cautions: Contains oxalates, which may be problematic for individuals prone to kidney stones if consumed in large quantities. Best eaten in moderation, particularly when raw, for those sensitive to oxalates.

Our pup loves the cronch cronch!
Style: Ball, Size: Medium (Pack of 1)
I bought our 15 month old Coton several Chuck-It toys on an Amazon deal. He is incredibly playful, mischievous, and ball/toy obsessed, especially for anything that makes noise. He can also be very destructive so I love how durable most of their products are - they’re among our longest lasting toys and worth every penny. We have yet to take them to the dog park, but they’re a perfect size for sharing in play time. And they are keeping him busy at home - that’s a good thing. He loves investigating the crunchy-cronchy-crinkly sound which is a nice change from squeakers. It can withstand his destructive chewing well-being, gentle on his little teeth. I love that. Chuck-It is thinking outside the box with a variety of balls to keep dogs engaged! I do worry about the crinkle plastic inside because it is accessible because of the air holes and it feels a little sharp. So this will have to be an at home toy so we can monitor his play.

My dog loves it!
Style: Ball, Size: Medium (Pack of 1)
This crunch ball was a Christmas gift for my 65lbs fur baby. It’s now mid April and he still loves it. He loves running after it and chomping down on it. It is still in good shape despite all the chomping it’s gotta . I highly recommend. He goes back to this toy agin and again! Great buy.

Our first babies favorite and longest lasting ball yet and he is fixing to be 7.

Toughest ball we have found yet. Our doberman loves Chuckit! Balls especially the crunch one. He spreads all the balls and toys we have bought but these lasted the longest. The crunch and the glow in the dark are usually his pick but he has several different choices.

Best system ever !!
My 12 yr. old Toy Poodle was already trained to a 'piddle pad' , so this system was easy to introduce. I simplly placed her piddle mat in the sturdy sided piddle box and she used it immediately. With a straight lower pad holder, she was peeing at the side and I was constantly having to clean the surrounding floor . Now, it is all contained and she is happy with her new 'piddle place'. And, I am very happy too !!
