Verdolagas (Purslane)

This succulent, almost clover-like herb has richly aromatic dark green leaves with reddish-tainted, juicy stems.  Delightfully crunchy and fresh tasting, the entire plant can be used, the stems being the most succulent. They have a mild, slightly sour and uniquely tangy flavor.
