Saltwort

Sarcocornia fruticosa

Saltwort is a small, highly branched shrub. It has straight branches with small scale shaped leaves that form rings throughout the plant. Its characteristic colour is sea-green and dim.

Saltwort RiaFresh® fleshy tips can be eaten fresh, in salads or soups, or boiled. Its slightly bitter flavour makes it a great ingredient to prepare sauces for meat or fish dishes. It is surprising when used with eggs or milanesa.
