We Learn About Sea Purslane

Mote Magazine from Mote Marine Laboratory boasts about Southwest Florida’s “sea-green delicacy” called sea purslane. Dr. Kevan Main, a senior scientist at the laboratory in Sarasota, developed a new “Sea Purslane Cookbook” in effort to help locals enjoy the sea-dwelling vegetable. Dr. Main also wants to encourage farmers to cultivate it. She is excited to see the exciting potential of sea purslane. Dr. Main joins us to tell us more about sea purslane, and discuss the details of her new cookbook.
