A fleshy stemmed annual plant with a high salt content, the Salicornia, also known as glasswort or samphire, just might be the next culinary herb sensation. Eaten raw, quickly fried, steamed or microwaved, this high-protein plant is a surprising addition to salads, soups, hot dishes and a perfect accompaniment for fish & seafood plates. Natively, the Salicornia is highly adapted to the sea shore and covered by salt water for much of the day. The folks at Hishtil have developed it as a conventional plant rooted in soil and irrigated with regular water. It’s now suitable for growing outdoors. Two weeks before harvesting, it is important to irrigate with brackish water to
achieve the ultimate salty taste! Grows 12- 20 inches and likes full sun.
