Known scientifically as Crithmum maritmum, rock samphire is a salt tolerant hardy, succulent plant that also has a number of other common names including Samphire, Sea-fennel, Crest Marine, Sampier, True samphire, sea samphire, rock fennel, crest marine and stone Samphire.
The name “samphire” is derived from the French word “sampiere”, shortened version of “Saint Pierre”, which is a patron of fishermen. Name of the plant refers to the fact that this plant grows in the coastal areas. Rock samphire is also known as sea asparagus because it grows close to the sea and shares some morphological similarities with asparagus. This wonderful plant grows near sea shore and that is the reason it is called “sea vegetable “.
Rock Samphire is purely organic and a neglected local ingredient in culinary preparation. It's indigenous to the Adriatic region and grows well in our climate. The many health benefits include: rich in Vitamins and Minerals, has immune-stimulant characteristics, antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor and anti-diabetic, contributing to the prevention of arterial hypertension problems.
