Saltbush is a new Australian Native product now available from Flowerdale Farm. Native to the dry areas of inland Australia, Saltbush has large blue-grey leaves with a salty, slightly bitter flavour. Fresh or blanched Saltbush leaves can be used as a wrap around meat and seafood, imbuing the protein with unique flavour when steamed or grilled. They can also be used to add a savoury flavour to salads or as a leafy bed for grilled meat or vegetables. They are an excellent salt substitute and can be dried and ground into flavoursome rubs and dukkha. In this form that are a great addition to breads, savoury pastries, pasta and risotto. Flowerdale Farm Saltbush leaves are available year round in 70g punnets.
