Purslane has fleshy succulent leaves and stems with yellow flowers. They look like baby jade plants. The stems lay flat on the ground as they radiate from a single taproot sometimes forming large mats of leaves.
The taste is similar to watercress or spinach and is perfect in in salads or on sandwiches.
