Sea beet can be foraged near the beach. Sea beet is fully edible. The leaves have a similar flavor to silver beet, maybe mildly saltier, while the sweet root can be eaten like sweet potatoes.
Sea beet is a nutrient powerhouse, rich in vitamins A, C and K, and minerals such as iron, calcium and magnesium.
Historically it’s been used for intestinal tumors, genital tumors, leukemia, immune function, bone health, overall wellbeing, most cancers, hemorrhoids, ulcers, feline ascariasis, anemia, jaundice, tinnitus, toothache, dandruff, hair loss, vertigo, brain conditions, obstructions of the liver and spleen and more.
Another awesome wild herb that reminds us of why our “fuel” is so important.
