Mmm salicornia. Makes a nice dish boiled with melted butter. How clever of Hattie to find some so close to home.
it is nice pickled too!
does it taste like asparagus…we are far far far from any oceans so have never seen or even heard of this plant. Looks rather lovely!
Hi Sherry, it is a bit salty and crunchy. It doesn’t taste like asparagus though, not sure how to describe it. Maybe Hattie can do a better job when holidays are over.
Hattie here – try this link for recipes!
And, I should have mentioned, you can find it around the edges of salt lakes well away from the ocean. It is also called saltwort, though I have only learned that just now looking for a map of distribution. Like this one: http://www.pollenlibrary.com/GENUS/Salicornia/
