Saltbush (Rhagodia parabolica)

Rhagodia parabolica, commonly known as the saltbush, is an Australian native plant that offers edible, salty-tasting leaves. Its tender, succulent foliage is high in salt content, making it a unique addition to a variety of savory dishes. Often used in bush tucker cuisine, the leaves can be eaten raw or cooked, and their briny flavor pairs well with meats, salads, and sauces. The plant is also valued for its resilience in arid environments, providing a sustainable food source in regions with low rainfall.
