Seabeans are also known as Salicornia, Samphire, or Glasswort. They grow on beaches and in marshes. These are the small, fleshy stems and branches of salty seacoast plants in the genus Salicornia. They look like tiny green coral. These crisp, salty sprigs make terrific garnishes. The leaves are small and scale-like so that the plant may look leafless, and somewhat resemble a very thin cactus.

Applications: They add a salty accent to any food they are cooked with. Seabeans are edible, either cooked or raw. Prepare them as you would regular vegetables. They can be sautéed, served fresh, pickled, put in soup, or even omlettes.
