Description
The “Rock Samphire” as this perennial herbaceous plant is called in English, reaches a height of 20-50 cm and grows in nature on rocky coastal rock. Here the plant is quite unknown, but in Mediterranean countries, North Africa or on islands in the Atlantik has a wide range of uses, and its slightly exotic and salty taste is popular. Sea fennel is called `Kritama` in Greece and served as a salad with tomatoes and pepperoni. In Italy, the fleshy leaves are boiled in vinegar water and then marinated in olive oil with mint and garlic – a suitable accompaniment to rice dishes of double umbels are often used for garnishing or pickled.
