Saltbush (Atriplex)
10.85 ₪
The 'Indestructible' plant.
Saltbush is a shimmering silver-blue shrub that defines resilience.
It thrives in soils so salty or dry that most plants would wither instantly.
In addition to being a fire-retardant hedge, its leaves are a culinary secret—naturally salty and crisp, they can be used to season roasts or fried into 'green chips.'
שאלות ותשובות
How do I eat the leaves?
Blanch them to reduce the saltiness, or fry them in a bit of olive oil for a salty, crunchy garnish that tastes like the sea.
Does it need fertilizer?
Rarely. It is a specialist in poor soils and generally finds what it needs without help.
