It is a fresh, bright green plant with crunchy, fleshy, and somewhat tubular stems, similar in structure to young spinach stalks.
Taste: Distinctly briny and salty, as the plant absorbs salt water while it grows.
Health: Rich in healthy minerals (such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium) and fiber.
Note: Due to this natural absorption, it contains a relatively high amount of salt.
Preparation:
Remove any hard, woody ends before use.
Delicious when briefly blanched or stir-fried (do not add any extra salt!).
Can also be used raw in salads.
Pairing: Pairs excellently with fish and shellfish dishes.
