Samphire, often referred to as sea asparagus or sea beans, is a succulent plant commonly found in coastal regions and salt marshes. Known for its vibrant green color and crisp texture, it has a mildly salty flavor that complements seafood dishes and fresh salads. A staple in Mediterranean and British coastal cuisines, samphire offers a variety of health benefits. Rich in antioxidants, vitamins A and C, and essential minerals like iodine and magnesium, it supports thyroid health, boosts immunity, and promotes glowing skin. Low in calories and high in fiber, samphire can be a great addition to a balanced diet. Its natural saltiness, however, means it should be consumed in moderation for those monitoring sodium intake. Traditionally steamed, sautéed, or lightly blanched, samphire is a flavorful and nutritious way to enhance meals while connecting to its sea-sourced origins.
