Purslane Seeds – A Superfood Straight from Your Garden
Product Description
Purslane (Portulaca oleracea) is more than just a hardy garden plant—it’s one of nature’s richest plant-based sources of omega-3 fatty acids. With a fresh, lemony crunch and a powerhouse of nutrients, purslane is the perfect addition to your garden and your diet. This ancient green has been enjoyed worldwide for centuries, both for its flavor and its health benefits.
Plant Features

Nutritional Benefits: Purslane is packed with vitamins A, C, and E, minerals like magnesium, calcium, and potassium, and most importantly, it delivers an omega-3 boost that few plants can match.
Why Omega-3 Matters
Unlike most leafy greens, purslane contains alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a key plant-based omega-3 fatty acid known to support heart health, reduce inflammation, and promote brain function. Regularly incorporating purslane into meals is an easy, natural way to strengthen your wellness from the ground up.
