Topic: Salsola Soda

Hi. Does anyone know anything about harvesting seeds from salsola soda?

I grew some for the 1st time this year and had an astounding crop so would like to keep some of the seeds. Thanks in advance :D

I have never heard of it.  Found this definition:

Noun   1.   Salsola sodaSalsola soda - bushy plant of Old World salt marshes and sea beaches having prickly leaves; burned to produce a crude soda ash

Why are you growing it, what do you use it for?

Basically it's like samphire but without the salty tang. It has a very delicate taste but is nice steamed or stir fried. It grows up to about 1ft and has many branches to it.  ;D

I like samphire so I might give it a go if I can fit it on my lottie.
