Learning to Sea (Beans).
Made with Sea Beans, a type of flowering succulent plant that provides a salty, briny bite to foods.
These Sea Beans were part of an assorted package of mushrooms from FarWest Fungi (they have stores in Santa Cruz and at the SF Ferry Building Farmer’s Market).

Aim to include as many diverse plants into your meals (30+ is ideal) per week to support your gut microbiome.
Make it a game to add new plants each week. I recently discovered Sea Beans, also known as Sea Asparagus, Sea Pickle, and Salt Daddies (!), that add a salty, briny, umami crunch to stir-fries, pasta, and salads. Even though they’re salty, they don’t impact blood pressure. They also contain trans-ferulic acid, a phytochemical with proven antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging benefits.
