About Criste marine

Criste marine is sea fennel, a coastal edible plant with fleshy leaves and stems. Its crisp leaves are used raw in small amounts, pickled, or cooked as a vegetable or seasoning; preparation can soften its assertive flavour.

The plant has succulent, branching stems and narrow, fleshy leaves, usually green but sometimes tinged with blue-green. Its flavour is aromatic, salty and somewhat citrusy. It may be sold fresh or preserved in brine or vinegar, forms that differ substantially in saltiness and texture.
