Oh My Goodness Specialty Breads Fresh in!

17/06/2026

Thanks, Wild Botanica for this post: find out more about miner's lettuce (claytonia perfoliata) and how useful it is, especially in winter. A winter garden treasure, often called Spring Beauty, Winter Purslane, or Poor Man’s Lettuce, this delightful wild green is flourishing in my garden right now and I’m loving every bite.
With its crisp, juicy texture and bright green glow, Miner's Lettuce is a beautiful burst of vitality in winter meals. It adds not only flavor and color, but also a nourishing touch of the wild. A cool season cousin of Purslane, this plant truly shines when the weather turns cold.
How to Use It: Think of it as wild lettuce, mild, tender, and perfect raw. It’s ideal in fresh salads, where its delicate flavor and crunchy bite can be fully appreciated. You can cook it, but it tends to lose its sparkle when wilted. Only the leafy parts above ground are eaten.
