I love it when I find treasures like this Herbal remedies book I found at the op shop the other day. They remind me of when I was a little girl and mum had a few books like this that I would read again and again and try all the recipes.
I loved her cook books and herbal skincare books ....then grew up to become a cook, then a skincare business owner. Isn't life interesting?
The second picture is purslane. Such a hardy little plant that is shown here growing in the cracks in the concrete outside my house. Purslane thrives on neglect!
Purslane has been eaten for thousands of years and its very nutritious. it’s one of the richest plant sources of omega 3s, plus vitamins A, C and E
You can just pick the leaves and eat them
(Use a plant ID app if youre not sure its purslane) or cook the leaves
Ive picked some up around the local area and am starting a "purslane patch" in my garden, ill keep you posted how it goes
