Sea Purslane (Sesuvium portalucastrum)

Sea Purslane is a fast-growing, edible groundcover often found in coastal areas, known for its salty, succulent leaves that add a unique flavour to savory dishes. Eaten raw, it offers a slightly bitter, crunchy texture, perfect for pickling, while cooking softens its flavour for use in various recipes and garnishes. Packed with vitamin C and other health properties. Easy to grow in sunny, sandy soil, this drought- and salt-tolerant plant thrives with minimal care, making it a great addition to gardens, rockeries, or for preventing soil erosion. Harvest by plucking fresh stems or uprooting the plant entirely, and enjoy its culinary benefits year-round.
