GĐXH – This wild vegetable is considered a "golden food" for people with gout and diabetes. The plant has succulent, crisp stems and small, heart-shaped, dark green leaves. Thanks to its ease of cultivation and rapid growth, it is becoming increasingly popular in family meals today.

Purslane is good for people with diabetes and gout.

Purslane, despite growing wild, is sold at a relatively high price, comparable to meat or fish, at over 100,000 VND/kg. Even so, this vegetable is still sought after by many housewives because of its unique taste, crisp texture, and high nutritional value.

Purslane is rich in vitamin C, beta-carotene, potassium, iron, and antioxidants such as flavonoids, offering numerous health benefits. Vitamin C boosts immunity and supports collagen production. Beta-carotene is good for eyesight; potassium regulates blood pressure and supports cardiovascular health… Antioxidants slow aging and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

In particular, purslane has been studied for its potential to support people with gout. Extracts from the plant can inhibit the enzyme xanthine oxidase, reducing uric acid production and alleviating gout pain. Some trials have shown that purslane extract can reduce blood uric acid levels by up to 44%, helping to balance and prevent the disease.

Purslane helps people with gout.

According to general practitioner Bui Dac Sang, purslane has cooling properties, helps to clear heat, detoxify, and aid digestion. Using purslane helps support the treatment of many diseases, including the prevention of diabetes.

Vegetables are still used in many daily dishes, being both delicious and nutritious. To make a dish that helps with diabetes, you can use 100g of purslane and 100g of frog meat. Peel the frog meat, remove the head, and coat it in batter before frying until golden brown. Mix the purslane with vinegar or fresh lemon juice, then add the frog meat and mix well. Eating this dish 2-3 times a week is very good for people with diabetes.
