Salicorne (French word) is a wild, succulent plant that grows along the seashore and in salt marshes. It comes in bushes of crisp and juicy twigs that are harvested in late spring to early summer and can be eaten raw, cooked, or pickled.
I tasted fresh green salicorne in Jean Talon Market in Montreal. It is taste of summer by the sea. It is slightly salty with a fresh, crunchy, not overpowering, herbal taste.
