Superfood Spotlight: Sea Parsley
Also known as sea celery, sea parsley grows wild along Australia’s southern coastline, thriving in salty winds and sandy soils. Indigenous communities have long used it as both food and medicine, valuing its bright, herbaceous flavor and its ability to flourish where most plants can’t.
Its taste is like parsley meets celery with a whisper of ocean air — fresh, aromatic, and unmistakably coastal.
