(Atriplex nummularia)
This prolific and hardy shrub thrives in the coastal, arid, and semi-arid regions of Australia, and is gaining immense popularity in the culinary scene. Known for its interesting alchemy of flavours, Saltbush boasts herbaceous, umami, and salty notes, culminating with a slightly bitter finish. This deliciously versatile herb can be used to tease out the flavour of any savoury dish, however it also makes for an interesting contrast when paired with sweet flavours, like caramel.
