Discover Salicornia, a distinctive edible coastal plant also known as Sea Asparagus, Samphire and Sea Beans. Popular in coastal European cuisine, Salicornia is appreciated for its naturally briny, savoury flavour and versatility in the kitchen.
Our dried Salicornia flakes offer two ways to enjoy this unique ingredient: use them straight from the pack for a satisfying crunch, or rehydrate them in water to create soft, tender pieces for your favourite recipes.
Two Ways to Enjoy Salicornia
Crunchy When Dry
Add the flakes directly to salads, rice bowls, roasted vegetables, pasta and other savoury dishes. Sprinkle them over your meals or incorporate them into recipes for a distinctive coastal flavour and crunchy texture.
Soft & Tender When Rehydrated
Soak the flakes in water until they soften, then drain and add them to fresh salads, sautéed vegetables, pasta, grain bowls and more. Enjoy Salicornia as a versatile vegetable ingredient rather than just another seasoning.
Inspired by Coastal Cuisine
Salicornia is a favourite ingredient in creative coastal cooking, pairing particularly well with seafood, potatoes, pasta, lemon, garlic and olive oil. It also brings a distinctive savoury character to plant-based meals and vegetable-forward recipes.
