- ✅ Positive ID: Purslane has thick, spoon-shaped leaves, reddish stems, and grows flat along the ground. Do not confuse with spurge (toxic look-alike that oozes white sap when broken).
- 🌿 Harvest ethically: Only pick from areas free of pesticides, herbicides, or pet traffic.
- 🥣 Eat in moderation: Contains oxalates (like spinach)—those with kidney stones should limit intake.
