Salsola (Oka Hijiki)
Salsola komarovii is said to be one of the oldest vegetables of Japan and is called Oka Hijiki (the seaweed that grows on land !)
Salsola belongs like Salicornia to the Chenopodiaceae. Salsola (sometimes called Sea Mustard) is a moderate halophyte. It has a very crunchy texture and need to be slightly saline for a pleasant taste.
Salsola is used in the traditional Japanese cuisine but fresh Salsola fits evenly well with young soft salted herring (dutch: maatjes)
