Plants often grow in unexpected places, often without us realizing it, but they are often very beneficial to our health.
One such plant is purslane, which usually grows underground but is a medicinal herb, also known as “cat’s tongue” or “the perishable one”.
Purslane usually grows in spring and summer and is characterized by its juicy, fleshy leaves rich in fiber.
