About Saltwort
Saltwort, a hardy coastal plant often referred to as "sea asparagus" or "glasswort," is prized for its crunchy texture and salty undertones. Native to saline environments, it has been an integral part of cuisines in Japan, Korea, and Mediterranean regions, often featured in salads, stir-fries, or as a garnish for seafood dishes. Rich in minerals like potassium, magnesium, and calcium, saltwort supports electrolyte balance and bone health. It also contains a healthy dose of antioxidants and vitamins A and C, promoting skin health and immune function. Its high fiber content aids digestion, while its low calorie profile aligns with weight management goals. However, due to its natural sodium content, individuals with salt-sensitive conditions should consume it in moderation. Versatile and nutrient-dense, saltwort offers a unique, flavorful addition to dishes alongside a variety of health benefits.
