Saltbush

Available: All year round.

Saltbush leaves boast a succulent texture and a distinctive salty, herbal taste, making them incredibly adaptable. Incorporate fresh leaves into salads or as a base for roasting meats (particularly delicious with lamb) or fish, add them to stir-fries, fry them in batter for a crispy treat, or utilize dried leaves as a seasoning. Ground dried leaves serve as an alternative to salt, offering a unique flavour dimension.
