A round clump of Salicornia. It's a flowering plant, but the leaves and tiny flowers are so tightly attached to the stems that it looks like a bunch of segmented stems. These are green with red tips; two plants next to it, on the edge of the photo, are still almost all green. On a stony beach.

Pickleweed, aka Glasswort, sea beans, sea asparagus, samphire ... Salicornia sp. Salt-tolerant, growing at the high tide line, in the splash zone. New blog post: wanderinweeta.blogspot.com/2025/08/wher... #VancouverIsland #Plants #Halophytes #SaltTolerantPlants #Nature

Salicornia grows thick in a protected salt marsh on Spain’s Mediterranean coast. The succulent stalks can be eaten raw or cooked. Image by Rachel Parsons.

There are more than 7,000 edible #halophytes in the world.

Ancient texts show that people have foraged them for #food, #medicine, and #fuel for thousands of years.
