Also known as saltwort or land seaweed, agretti produces slender green shoots with a mild, savoury flavour and just a hint of bitterness. Serve the tender shoots with seafood or braise them with olive oil and garlic for a delicious side dish. Cut plants when they reach 15-20cm/6-8in tall to encourage a further harvest.
