Sea Asparagus (Salicornia) is found widely distributed over the Northern Hemisphere and in Southern Africa.
This bright and salty vegetable can be used as is, but many folks prefer to blanch it first - 1 or 2 minutes in boiling water until it turns bright green that rinse it off in freezing cold water. Now it's ready to be tossed into salads, stirfrys and fish seasonings, or cooked up simply with a little butter and fresh onion. Another common use for the vegetable is as a natural salt and mineral provider to homemade pickled vegetable recipes.
Nutritional Notes:
It is said to be a great digestive aid. It also is rich in micronutrients and vitamins A, C, B2 and B15, iron, calcium and magnesium. This natural wonder is packed with phytochemicals that protect the liver, heart and cellular DNA.
Other Names : picklingweed, sea bean, sea pickle. If you come from a northern European background you may know it as samphire; a name that's a nod to Sainte Pierre, the patron saint of fisherman.
