Industrial use (contemporary)

Because *Salicornia
bigelovii<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salicornia_bigelovii>
* can be grown using saltwater and its seeds contain high levels of
unsaturated oil <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salicornia_oil> (30%,
mostly linoleic
acid <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linoleic_acid>) and protein
(35%),[8]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salicornia#cite_note-Glenn1998-8>
[9] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salicornia#cite_note-SAWorld1994-9> it
can be used to produce animal feedstuff and as a biofuel feedstock on
coastal land where conventional crops cannot be grown. Adding
nitrogen-based fertiliser <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fertilizer> to the
seawater appears to increase the rate of growth and the eventual height of
the plant,[10] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salicornia#cite_note-10> and
the effluent from marine
aquaculture<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquaculture>(e.g. shrimp
farming <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrimp_farm>) is a suggested use for
this
purpose.[8]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salicornia#cite_note-Glenn1998-8>

Experimental fields of *Salicornia* have been planted in Ras al-Zawr (Saudi
Arabia),[9]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salicornia#cite_note-SAWorld1994-9>

Sonora<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonora>(northwest Mexico)
[11] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salicornia#cite_note-11> aimed at the
production of biodiesel. The company responsible for the Sonora trials (Global
Seawater <http://www.globalseawater.com>) claims between 225 and 250
gallons of BQ-9000 biodiesel can be produced per

of salicornia,
[12] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salicornia#cite_note-12> and is

*Salicornia* is a genus <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genus> of
succulent<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Succulent>,
halophyte (salt tolerant) <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halophyte>
plants<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant>that grow in salt
marshes <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_marsh>, on
beaches<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beach>,
and among mangroves <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mangrove>.
*Salicornia*species are native to North
America <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_America>,
Europe<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe>,
South Africa <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Africa>, and South
Asia<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Asia>.
Common names for the genus include
*glasswort<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glasswort>
*, *pickleweed <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickleweed>*, and marsh
samphire <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samphire>; these common names are
also used for some species not in
*Salicornia*.[1]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salicornia#cite_note-1>The
main European species is often eaten, called marsh samphire in
Britain,
and the main North American species is occasionally sold in grocery stores
or appears on restaurant menus, usually as 'sea beans'.

Culinary

*Salicornia europaea* is highly edible, either cooked or
raw.[4]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salicornia#cite_note-PFAF-4>In
England, it is one of several plants known as
*samphire* (see also Rock
samphire<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_samphire>);
the term samphire is believed to be a corruption of the French name, *[herbe
de] Saint-Pierre*, which means "St. Peter's
herb".[5]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salicornia#cite_note-5>

Samphire is usually cooked, either
steamed<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steamed>or
microwaved <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_oven>, and then coated
in butter or olive oil. Due to its high salt content, it must be cooked
without any salt added, in plenty of water. It has a hard, stringy core,
and after cooking, the edible flesh is pulled off from the core. This
flesh, after cooking, resembles seaweed in color, and the flavor and
texture are like young spinach stems or asparagus. Samphire is often used
as a suitably maritime accompaniment to fish or
seafood<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seafood>
.

In addition to *S. europaea*, the seeds of *S. bigelovii* yield a highly
edible oil. *S. bigelovii's* edibility is compromised somewhat because it
contains saponins <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saponins>, which are toxic
under certain
conditions.[4]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salicornia#cite_note-PFAF-4>

Umari keerai is cooked and eaten or pickled. It is also used as fodder for
cattle, sheep and
goats.[6]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salicornia#cite_note-Hindu-6>In
Kalpitiya <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalpitiya>, Sri
Lanka<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sri_Lanka>,
it is used to feed donkeys.

On the east coast of Canada, the plant is known as "samphire greens" and is
a local delicacy. In Southeast
Alaska<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southeast_Alaska>,
it is known as "beach asparagus". In Nova Scotia, Canada, they are known as
"crow's foot greens". In the United States, they are known as "sea beans"
when used for culinary purposes. Other names include "sea green bean",
"pousse-pierre", "passe-pierre", "pousse-pied", "sea pickle", and "marsh
samphire".[7] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salicornia#cite_note-7>
