Salicorn is a wild herbaceous plant that grows in coastal and salted environments, such as marshes and dunes. It is also known as the Cornichon of the sands because of its resemblance to the pickle and its slightly tart flavor. Salicornia is mainly used as a culinary ingredient. It is often kept in vinegar and used as a condiment to add a touch of acid flavor to a variety of dishes, such as sandwiches and salads. It can also be marinated in olive oil and used as a garnish for fish or meat dishes.
