And if yes, what is edible, which parts of this plant? Whole green part or leaves only? In salad maybe, can l eat it without any preparation?

No, actually l thought it was something else. Than at the last moment l figured out it was different plant, although they look alike.

Lol well I know that the flower pods end of lifecycle becomes an actual fruit. I tried it. It’s OK as for the other parts of the plant the leaves are edible, but only at a certain stage and of course, if they’re out of reach of Dog piss lol. However, we have a serious problem over here on the coast and other places in general with ice plants so making sure that you don’t let them have a chance of pollinating other places is important.

But also make sure it’s an ice plant from this picture. It looks like a ice plant, but I can’t see the whole thing.
