I have about 1/4 acre that is filled with purslane. I pick the mature plants (just as they are blooming), cut off the roots, turn them upside down and dry them on a screen on my enclosed back porch. When they are completely dry, I strip the leaves off the stems and powder them in the blender. I use the powder in diy cosmetics and sprinkle some on/in many foods (especially soups). The fresh purslane adds a tart crunch to salads. Yum! Warning: don't eat purslane out of your yard if you have used herbicides and/or pesticides anywhere near them.
