Salicornia – The Green Salt

6,68 €

It’s not just a healthy, plant-based substitute for salt, it’s a super food.

With a lower sodium content than sea salt, the mild salty flavor of salicornia, known as pickleweed or “Green Salt“, is also due to the presence of several minerals in this plant. It is also rich in vitamins, fiber and proteins, which make it an excellent complement to a vegetarian diet.

Plantação de Salicórnia no Algarve
Salicornia Plantation in the Algarve

Salicornia is a very special plant that grows in saline environments and has evolved to tolerate this hostile condition, just as we will have to do in the future. The company Salivitae, after several years of producing and exporting fresh salicornia, began dehydrating and grinding it into powder, to be used as a salt substitute and as a natural supplement, full of nutrients. In practice, the most tender parts of the plant are cut and washed, then dehydrated in a solar oven and crushed in a special mill before being packaged.

The objective when dehydrating and grinding salicornia was to completely eliminate waste on the farm, while at the same time making it possible to consume this plant on a daily basis. At Salivitae, these plants are cultivated with care, from the moment they are seeds until they reach 15 centimeters in height, the ideal point for harvesting. The organic production approach, with 0% waste and the use of solar energy, provides you with the best plants to be used in the kitchen or as a complement.

In addition to all these benefits, we also found a way to regenerate lands with high salinity. This product is truly unique, and Salivitae is the only company in the country that produces this variety of salicornia naturally, organically and with organic certification.

Orders are normally dispatched by courier (DPD) and can be sent to any location in mainland Portugal or practically all countries within the European Community (see list). Unfortunately, due to very strict customs restrictions, we are no longer able to ship orders to the UK. This situation may change in the future, depending on the evolution of extra-community agreements. If you prefer, you can choose a collection point for your order. If the delivery is made in Albufeira, we will deliver it by hand free of charge.

An important point to highlight is the need to have the complete address and, above all, leave a contact telephone number for the country where the order is being sent. For example, if the shipping address is in France, the contact must be a telephone with a French code, not Portuguese, because the courier will only call a number in the country if he needs more information about the delivery location.

We only use cardboard boxes specially designed for postal shipping. Products are packaged and protected in the best possible way, using only recycled or recyclable material. The filling of the box is made from shreds of colored paper, which gives it a cheerful and appealing appearance. We believe, however, that the important thing is the quality of the content and not sophisticated packaging, which is often discarded immediately and ends up being another environmental pollutant. At the end of the year, there is the option of choosing a box with Christmas effects, but it is still made of recyclable cardboard.
