Sea Beans

At this time of the year you might have seen a cardboard box full of seaweed looking like green vegetables (or what are they?) in the produce section, next to the mushrooms and wondered what on earth is this? Apparently edible, but what do they taste like and what to do with them?

They are sea beans
(Salicornia europea, S. herbacea). Salicornia, or sea bean, is from the Latin words for salt and horn. They are saline plants with hornlike branches, also known as Glasswort, Sea Asparagus, or Sea Pickle.

Crispy and salty
Sea beans are mild seashore succulents that grow in abundance along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and feed on salt water. Pleasantly deep-sea tasting and crunchy, they are similar to brined baby string beans or asparagus. They are sold in spring through early summer when the shoots are large enough to have some substance but before the central core begins to get woody. Slightly older plants need to be steamed or boiled. They turn orange-red in the fall.

How to use
Select plants that are firm and bright. Toss young raw sea beans into salads for fresh saline crunch, or use as a trail nibble, or attractive garnish. At the tail end of their one-week refrigerator shelf life, older sea beans can be revived with a five-minute soak in ice water.

ENERGIES!

We can all learn how to use the energy field around us. And we can learn how to tap into these energies to strengthen us physically, mentally and spiritually.

Furthermore, we find beneficial energies in fresh, ripe, newly harvested fruits and vegetables. Delicious foods made with these ingredients without any heating or additives, are the so called raw foods. Many benefits from a raw food diet could be the effects, direct or indirect, they can have on our sleep, our feelings and mood, and on our outlook on life. Along with many physical improvements as well.

From various plants, essential oils can be extracted, whether it is from the root, bark, stem, leaf or flower of the plant. These oils and their energies are highly beneficial and can provide amazing results on many levels. This applies only to oils of highest therapeutic grade.
