Sea Asparagus/ Salicornia

Salicornia, also known as sea asparagus, samphire, or sea beans, is a succulent, salt-tolerant coastal plant that grows in tidal marshes and seashores. It’s crunchy, briny, and mildly grassy—almost like a cross between asparagus, spinach, and a dash of the sea. You can saute, blanch, or eat them raw. Use sparingly due to its salty umami nature.
