How to operate

You must choose a good environment when picking purslane. Avoid environments with pesticide residues and chemical agents. It is best to pick purslane from your home garden, as this type of purslane does not have any pesticide residues. When picking, choose fresh ones and avoid those that are too old.

After picking, remove all the roots and wash them clean. Then use a basin of water with baking soda to soak the purslane for half an hour, then take it out, wash it again and drain the water.

Add water to the pot and bring it to a boil. Put the steamer on and put the purslane in to steam. Do not steam it for too long. Just wait until the purslane becomes soft. After steaming, let it cool and chop it into purslane pieces for later use.

Add salt, oyster sauce, vegetable oil, a little MSG and light soy sauce, as well as chopped green onion and ginger to the pork filling, mix well, then add the purslane powder and start making bread dumplings.

The efficacy of purslane

1. Diuresis and swelling

Lowers blood pressure: Purslane contains a large amount of potassium salt, which has a good diuretic and anti-edema effect. Potassium ions can also directly act on the blood vessel walls, causing the blood vessel walls to expand and prevent the thickening of the arterial walls, thereby lowering blood pressure.

2. Eliminate dust and poison

Preventing and treating ulcers: Purslane can eliminate dust toxins, prevent degeneration and necrosis of phagocytes, prevent lymphatic vessel inflammation and fibrous changes, prevent the formation of silicosis nodules, and has a certain effect on vitiligo. Purslane also contains more carotene, which can promote the healing of ulcers.

3. Sterilization and anti-inflammatory

Purslane has a strong inhibitory effect on Shigella dysenteriae, Salmonella typhi and Escherichia coli. It can be used as an auxiliary treatment for various inflammations and is known as a "natural antibiotic".

4. Prevent and treat heart disease

Purslane is rich in Y-3 fatty acids, which can inhibit the production of serum cholesterol and triglycerides in the human body, help increase the synthesis of prostaglandins by vascular endothelial cells, inhibit platelet formation of thromboxane A2, reduce blood viscosity, promote vasodilation, prevent platelet aggregation, coronary artery spasm and thrombosis, thereby playing a role in preventing and treating heart disease.

5. Antibacterial effect

The ethanol extract has a high inhibitory effect on Escherichia coli, Proteus, Shigella dysenteriae, Salmonella typhi and Salmonella paratyphi.
