Miner's Lettuce / Indian Lettuce / Winter Purslane
This is the 6th episode of 'Tales From The Wasteland' in it we cover Miner's Lettuce. It's official name is Claytonia perfoliata, but it's sometimes called indian lettuce or winter purslane. It got it's name from miners during the California gold rush who ate it to prevent scurvy. This is a fairly prevalent plant that grows in wetlands that contains vitamin C, so make it a part of your daily diet when it's in season.
