Sea fennel (Crithmum maritimum), known in Greece as "kritamo", growing wild on the beach! See more on my courses at jointheflow.net ...discover my books at bit.ly/elefteria ...and read more about that. Of course, you can use it pickled. Add it in corn or zucchini salad. As a dried ingredient, you can powder it, and add it in homemade noodle dough. Great for marinara-style dishes! The powder can also be added in soups, egg and rice dishes. Sea fennel has nutritional value, being rich in vitamin C, vitamins E and K, iodine, carotenoids and flavonoids. It is also rich in antioxidants and in omega-3 fatty acids. The consumption of sea fennel was common among seafarers as a valuable aid for the prevention of scurvy. An essential oil can be distilled from the leaf. Crithmum is a monospecific genus of flowering plant in the carrot family Apiaceae. #herbaleducation #seafennel #crithmum #Crithmummaritimum #gourmetfood #wildgourmet #vegangourmet #veganfood #Apiaceae #aromatherapy #essentialoils #essentialoilswork #medicinalplants #wildfoodlove #wildfood #myherbalstudies #botany #greekflora #greekfood #wildherbs #foragingforfood #herbalistsofinstagram #herbalremedies #foraging #plantallies (at Greece) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSj1RYwokB1/?utm_medium=tumblr
