Description:

The Sea Bean is a marsh plant native to the coastal areas of Northwest Europe. This attractive leafless plant is also known as salicornia, samphire, marsh samphire, glasswort, and sea asparagus. The Sea Bean, with its dark-green or reddish branching stalks, both looks and tastes like seaweed, but is actually a plant that grows in shallow marshes and salty mudflats throughout Europe and North America. Cultivated using fresh seawater in Baja Mexico, the sea bean is quite salty with a crisp texture and a flavor reminiscent of the sea.
