Winter Purslane Seeds (Claytonia Perfoliata) - 300 seeds

Winter Purslane (Claytonia perfoliata), also known as "chicken foot" or Cuban Claytonia, is part of the portulacaceae family. Native to America, winter purslane is now widely consumed in Crete. It is part of the Cretan diet for its medicinal properties as a "cholesterol enemy," protecting against cardiovascular diseases. This low, sprawling plant has fleshy green leaves perched at the end of long stems about 20 cm high. Its leaves are thick, tender, and have a mild flavor. They are used raw in salads, in sandwiches, or cooked like spinach or in soups. Purslane is also rich in vitamin E and minerals. Why deprive yourself? Winter purslane is perfectly suited for late-season cultivation as it withstands cold well, down to -20°C if well protected and established.
