What is "samphire "?
Samphire is a succulent plant that grows along the coastlines and is often found in salty marshes and rocky shores. With origins in Europe and Asia, this edible plant is known for its crisp texture and unique salty flavor. Rich in minerals and vitamins, samphire is a nutritious choice, particularly as it contains high levels of iodine, calcium, and vitamin C. Its vibrant green shoots make a delightful addition to salads and seafood dishes, adding a refreshing taste of the sea.
