Wild Food Entry For: Sea KaleThis is the description page for Sea Kale (Crambe maritima) and includes a description as well as an image, if available and a selection of recipes from this site that relates to the wild foodstuff: Sea Kale.  Sea Kale, Crambe maritima, (also known as seakale) is a halophytic (salt-loving) perennial plant of the Brassicaceae (cabbage/mustard) family that grows wild along the coasts of Europe, from the North Atlantic to the Black Sea. It has large fleshy glaucous collard-like leaves and abundant white flowers. The seeds come one each in globular pods. For consumption the plants are covered in spring with soil, sand or a pot or box. This induces them to produce hick blanched leaf stalks, each topped with a small leaf which can be cut and prepared in a similar manner to asparagus. Although Sea Kale naturally grows near the salt spray of the ocean it can esaily be propagaged from seed and grows well in just about any garden where it makes both an attractive architectural plant and an interesting vegetable. The plant can also be grown from root cuttings. Recipes Utilizing Sea Kale Clams with Sea Kale in Miso Broth |
