Mediterranean saltbush

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.

Le foglie costituirono un importante nutrimento per gli uomini nei tempi antichi. Tuttora i giovani germogli di questa pianta vengono consumati dai portoghesi, ad esempio, come gli asparagi. Crude o cotte le foglie dell’erba sale sono ottime per qualsiasi uso culinario, dato il piacevole gusto sapido.
