Shrub species with vigorous growth, Atriplex halimus grows spontaneously in the Mediterranean area and on the coasts of the United Kingdom and Brittany. The plant prefers sandy soils and rocky coasts, resisting particularly cold temperatures.
The salt grass is characterized by its glabrous silvery-grey foliage and its erect habit, which tolerates major pruning well.
The leaves constituted an important nourishment for men in ancient times. Still today the young shoots of Atriplex halimus are consumed by the Portuguese, for example, like asparagus. Raw or cooked, the salt herb leaves are excellent for any culinary use, given the pleasant savory taste.
