Vegetables
Refrigerator
This tender, crunchy, slightly salty sea vegetable surprises everyone. Zeelanders have known the vegetable for some time, especially in combination with fish. Recently, the vegetable has also been cultivated in Zeeland. Marsh samphire is a pioneer plant. The plant is resistant to salty conditions like no other. The plant absorbs salt as it grows, giving it a salty taste. It is best to keep marsh samphire in the fridge.
