Properties and uses:
Samphire, also known as "Sea Pickle" or "Sea Asparagus", features fleshy, jointed, leafless stems resembling the shape of asparagus. Highly prized in cooking for its crunchy texture and naturally salty, iodized flavor, it can be eaten fresh, in salads, sautéed, or pickled, making it the perfect accompaniment to fish and seafood.

Unique flavor: An iodized and naturally salty taste, perfect for enhancing salads, accompanying fish, or being prepared as a condiment (like pickles).
Rich in nutrients: An excellent source of vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. Low in calories.
Changing color: A beautiful tender green in spring and summer, it takes on magnificent red to reddish hues in autumn.

Ideal for coastal gardens, it can also be planted in pots or planters, ensuring a mix of soil and sand (50/50) and adding sea salt when watering (about one teaspoon of sea salt per liter of water) to recreate its characteristic iodized taste.
The harvest of young, tender shoots takes place from May to August. It naturally turns red and dries up at the end of summer, releasing its seeds for the following year.
