Purslane: Nature's Restaurant: A Complete Wild Food Guide - Fields, Forests & Wetlands Foods of Eastern North America

Season: Spring & Summer

Urban, Rural or Both: Both

Purslane (Portulaca oleracea). Also called the Little Hogweed. It is common most everywhere. It is, as the Latin name suggests, a very close relative of the Portulaca flower you can buy for your garden. This is a cultivated food crop in India and parts of Europe. This is one of the best raw greens there is, period. It is just bizarre you can't buy this in grocery stores. The fact most of us in the west pull this "weed" from our gardens to give room to other plants that don't taste as good or grow as well just makes me nuts. And the fact it wants to grow almost anywhere and never seems bothered by pests, makes it an ideal crop.

Greens & Flowers:

An odd feature of this green vegetable that the earlier in the day you pick it, the stronger the lemony bite of the taste, and the later in the day you pick it, the milder it is. Try tasting it different times during the day and you will find a time it suits your taste best.

This is an amazingly versatile food. All parts of the plant above ground are usable in salads, stir-frying, soups, almost anything. In salads, it ads a zing to the flavor, like a natural vinegar or lemon. In soups it acts as a thickener. In a stir-fry it acts like Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus). I like it best as a salad green or just eating a handful when I find them. Very good raw taste, and nice crisp texture. Eat the stems, the flowers and all. Just cut or snap a section off, rinse and eat.

Seeds:

The Purslane plant produces huge number of tiny seeds in sacks at the end of each stem. I find collecting them to be a lot of work for the amount of food you get, but they do taste good in any kind of cooking.

They can be ground into flour, or added whole to any type of bread dough. I also put them whole into soups. They have also been used tradionally for making seed cakes.

Growing this plant in your home garden:

For detailed growing instructions, go to my Wild Foods Home Garden website Purslane page.



Description:

  • Plant Size: Can reach as high as 40 cm (16 inches), but found most often a few centimeters off the ground acting like a Prostrate shrub, that is growing out horizontally from the base along the ground. Very often you will see them with horizontal stems coming from a single, central root spreading out in a circle shape.
  • Duration: Annual
  • Leaf ShapeObovate (oar-shaped), very thick leaf (it is a succulent plant).
  • Leaf Phyllotaxis (Leaf Arrangement) on branch: Alternate in clusters at end of stems.
  • Leaf Size: 1.25-5 cm (1/2 to 2 inches) long
  • Leaf MarginEntire (smooth edged)
  • Stems: Dull red, sometimes green with red hue. Edible (same as leaf)
  • Flowers: Small (0.5 cm or less) bright yellow, five petalled.
  • Fruit: little pods full of extremely small, black or reddish brown seeds
  • Habitat: Anywhere in full light and disturbed soils - waste areas, fields, gardens. Able to tolerate poor, compacted soils and drought, but grows better in better soils

Titans of the Gilded Age: Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Morgan - Great Lives.

Titans of the Gilded Age: Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Morgan - Great Lives.



THIS URL INFORMATION, ITEMIZE AND GIVE VERY LENGTHY IN-DEPTH STORYTELLING, TRANSLATE VIA ADVENTURE, SCI-FI, ACTION, CATEGORY, AND CONSPIRACIES ONLY AS HYPOTHETICAL, AND HYPOTHESIS STORY TELLING THIS URL ARTICLE: https://www.umw.edu/greatlives/2014/01/01/titans-of-the-gilded-age-rockefeller-carnegie-and-morgan/

In a hypothetical, adventurous, sci-fi and action-packed narrative based on the article "Titans of the Gilded Age:

Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Morgan," these historical figures transform into key players in a grand conspiracy to control not just earthly resources and wealth, but also humanity's destiny itself.

The Gilded Age: 
A Multiversal Manipulation
Imagine the Gilded Age wasn't merely a period of rapid industrialization and stark social contrasts, but a critical juncture in the history of the universe. An ancient, interdimensional entity, known only as "The Architect," sought to influence nascent civilizations to follow a predetermined path. The Architect, unable to directly intervene, identified key individuals in burgeoning societies who possessed the necessary drive, intelligence, and ruthlessness to become its agents. In late 19th century America, The Architect's gaze fell upon Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Morgan.

The Agents of the Architect: John D. Rockefeller - The Controller:
Rockefeller, the oil magnate, wasn't just building a monopoly on oil, says Students of History. In this narrative, his Standard Oil network is a vast system of energy conduits, secretly designed to channel a unique form of energy – a byproduct of industrial growth – that The Architect needs to power its operations and consolidate its influence across dimensions. Rockefeller's obsessive drive for control and efficiency makes him the perfect manager for this operation, ensuring a constant flow of this "resource" to The Architect's hidden strongholds. He's a master manipulator, using his wealth and influence to shape political systems and prevent any disruption to his clandestine activities. 

Andrew Carnegie - The Innovator: 
Carnegie's steel empire is the heart of a technological leap, according to Students of History. In this fictional world, Carnegie Steel isn't just producing steel for buildings and bridges, but also for constructing devices and structures that harness the unique energy collected by Rockefeller's network. Carnegie, with his innovative mind, is constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible, unknowingly creating the infrastructure necessary for The Architect's grand design. His philanthropic endeavors are a clever cover, diverting attention from the true purpose of his wealth and technological advancements. 

J.P. Morgan - The Gatekeeper:
Morgan, the financial titan, says Medium, acts as the gatekeeper, controlling the flow of capital and information essential for both Rockefeller and Carnegie to carry out their tasks. His banking network facilitates the movement of resources, finances the development of critical infrastructure, and suppresses any attempts to expose the conspiracy. Morgan's ruthless efficiency and ability to navigate complex systems make him invaluable to The Architect, who relies on him to maintain order and silence any dissent. 

The Hidden Conflict: 
While on the surface, the Gilded Age appears to be about human ambition and the pursuit of wealth, in this hypothetical story, a hidden conflict is brewing. A small group of individuals, perhaps journalists, scientists, or activists, begin to notice anomalies in the energy distribution, strange patterns in the steel structures, and suspicious financial transactions. They become aware of a power far greater than the Titans they are investigating. This group of rebels must navigate a world controlled by powerful forces. They are uncovering a conspiracy that threatens to enslave humanity under the Architect's control. 

The Stakes:
The fate of humanity hangs in the balance. Will the rebels expose the conspiracy and prevent The Architect from achieving its goals? Or will the Titans, unknowingly or knowingly, continue to pave the way for a future where humanity is merely a cog in The Architect's grand machine?
This elaborate, imaginative tale transforms the historical context of the Gilded Age into a gripping narrative filled with adventure, sci-fi elements, action, and conspiracy. The Titans, powerful figures in their own right, become even more imposing as potential agents of a hidden cosmic force. This narrative allows us to explore the darker side of human ambition and the potential consequences of unchecked power, all within a speculative framework that stretches the bounds of our imagination.
