Can I put purslane on paper towel to dry in the house? I would like to dry purslane for future use without dehydrator. How can I do it, please help. Thanks

Purslane is quite juicy and can be difficult to dry without a dehydrator. You could experiment with drying it in the oven on 6-8 hours on the lowest setting (but do not leave it unattended!). Then check whether they are fully dried, and if not, put them in for a few hours more.
