Plant: Salicornia or pickleweed.......

Salicornia or pickleweed are ubiquitous plants of South California wetlands....halophilic succulents...

A single clump......

They carpet the edges of marsh...generally green, but in autumn, they turn red...

Recently, I have read articles claiming that they are nutritious and can be added to dietary regimen...research is underway to find safety risk and precise nutritional potential...

When food insecurity is looming large, it would be interesting if it proves to be edible....
