For many years Salicornia was known as the plague of salines, though nowadays is considered as an organic gourmet product. It is a plant with fleshy stems and scale shaped leaves, rich in vitamins A, B, C as well as minerals, like calcium, iron and iodine. It is a substitute of regular sea salt, due to its salty flavor, and can be used raw or cooked in salads, soups, fish, meat, pastas, giving a unique touch to your dishes.
