Portulaca oleracea grows in southern regions. In Guangdong province, it is relatively easy to buy fresh. During its season, such as in spring and summer, it can be found in both wet markets and supermarkets.
In some places, due to fertile soil, Portulaca oleracea can also be grown directly in fields, making it very common and easy to purchase. As a seasonal wild vegetable, its price varies, usually costing a few yuan per jin. The actual price should be confirmed at the time of purchase.
In the north, due to the climate, wild vegetables like Portulaca oleracea are rarely seen. They are generally cultivated in indoor greenhouses, making them inconvenient to purchase.
