Sometimes you can't see the forest for the sea beans. Salicornia, unter alles! People harvest these at low tide. When perfectly ripe, they are delicious little juicy salt poppers. But I've yet to master picking them, and if you choose wrong they can be quite astringent, with a raw nagging aftertaste that lingers in the back of the throat for hours. So, to bean or not to to bean? That is the question I can't answer. [edit: Actually, Sarah rightly pointed out that these are not sea beans, but an adjacent type of intertidal plant. If you know what it is, HMU!] |
