When I received an offer to review these SaltWise Salicornia Flakes, it definitely sparked an interest in me.As someone who does a lot of home cooking, I am always looking out for new seasonings to try.I collected a couple gallons of ocean water a couple years ago and made my own Sea Salt from it. The fact that this seasoning comes from ocean plants also, just intrigued me more.I opened my bottle of Salicornia Flakes and poured a small amount into my hand to taste them.The texture is like very small twigs, when I put some in my mouth I was very pleased with the crunchiness as well as the slight salty flavor. I felt like I could eat them straight from the bottle.These SaltWise Salicornia Flakes are versatile enough to be used in a variety of applications. I have used them on salad, spaghetti and pizza. As well as in soups.Although, I did take them with me when I last visited my daughter.Her husband was a chef when he was younger and I wanted to show these to him. He did not know that they were available in dried form, he had a pot of chili cooking and put some on his spoonful. He stated that, in his opinion, the two did not go well together.IMO these Salicornia Flakes are very easy to use and are made from high quality ingredients.I would recommend these in a pinch (pun intended) and do believe that they are a good value for the money.

It comes in a durable shaker with a nice hardwood cap. I have a collection of the salt wise spices on my spice rack and the uniformity looks great with my kitchen decor. Tastes earthy, savory, and salty. It makes my mouth water. The first time I used it I put it on wakami jasmine rice with roasted sesame seeds sprinkled on top, and the Salicornia Flakes transformed it into a much more palatable combination of flavors. Even though it's a low sodium product the salt strength does not disappoint. It's the same size (40 gm)as all my other salt wise seasoning shakers. Priced at $7.99.

This is a review of Saltwise Salicornia Flakes. The bottle was safety sealed. The labeling includes a batch number and a best-by date. It is a product from India and is sold by a company in Delaware. There is contact information on the labeling. This product interests me. So far I’ve tried it sprinkled on a hard-boiled egg (great, interesting) and on a simple lettuce salad (fine). It reminds me of a salty Italian seasoning mix. It is not too salty though but hold back the salt shaker a bit to avoid too much saltiness. I plan to try it next on pizza and my favorite homemade tomato sauce. Give it a try. Oh, it is pretty too.

As a person trying to find ways to reduce my sodium intake, these SaltWise Salicornia Flakes are a fantastic addition to the spice cabinet! They deliver a wonderful savory, ocean-inspired flavor with a distinctive umami quality that adds depth to all kinds of dishes. I have used these flakes to enhance seafood and vegetables in place of salt and other sodium based spice mixes. With a slightly crunchy texture, they are especially enjoyable on a basic tossed green salad. I love how they can elevate a simple dish with just a sprinkle. Whether you are looking to reduce your salt intake or want to try something different, this is a great option.

This bottle of saltwise salicornia flakes is ultra rich in unami flavor. The following are some thoughts to consider if you are considering buying this bottle to try or to supplement your spice cabinet1) A tiny pinch goes a long way. These salicornia flakes are ultra intense when it comes to unami flavor, which is surprising because it is from a plant-based material and not seafood.2) The texture of the flakes is between fine sea salt and coarse sea salt. It is rather versatile because you can add it to almost anything that warrants salt and which benefits from some green texture or color texture or color enhancement.3) Just be sure to use it before the best by date to ensure peak freshness and so that your food will remain healthy. In terms of quality of the flakes, I would give it a 9 out of 10.Overall, I do recommend this quality unami rich flavor enhancing flakes. They are good value despite the price.

I like how unique these salicornia flakes are! They have a naturally briny, savory flavor that adds a nice umami touch to food without overpowering the other ingredients. I like to add it to any dish. It has a green color, so it looks very nice on it. The flakes are easy to sprinkle over a finished dish or stir into warm foods, where they soften and blend in nicely. It’s a fun ingredient to try if you enjoy cooking and discovering new flavors.

I was curious to try salicornia flakes because I enjoy experimenting with different herbs and seasonings in the kitchen. This coastal herb has a unique, savory flavor that adds an interesting twist to everyday dishes. It has a natural salty, ocean-inspired taste that makes it a nice option for adding extra flavor without relying entirely on regular table salt.I like the versatility of the dried flakes and can see them working well in seafood dishes, vegetables, salads, soups, and other recipes that benefit from a little extra umami. They are also a fun ingredient to have on hand if you enjoy trying less common seasonings and exploring new flavors.A little experimentation is helpful to figure out which dishes pair best with salicornia, and I would recommend starting with a small amount so you can adjust the flavor to your liking. Overall, this is an interesting addition to my spice collection and a nice option for anyone who enjoys trying unique, chef-inspired ingredients in their cooking.

Really good and deep umami flavor, but it truly comes out if these flakes have been broken down a little bit. Just to add that Im very new to using this sort of herb, so my experience with it is limited. These "flakes" come in more of a rigid needle shape, and they are super crunchy when chewed on. Thing is that these flakes are a bit tough, and you need to chew on them for a few seconds to finally taste their flavor. Would just strongly recommend you crush these first before using is all, since I also made the fatal mistake to sprinkle as is on top of my food and they still kept their shape and texture.

Elevating clean, high-protein meals with rich savory depth on a weight loss journey is super exciting with these dried salicornia flakes. Harvested as a coastal green, the flaky herb texture crunches lightly over fresh salads, grilled seafood, or roasted veggies with top seasoning ease of use. The natural salty umami taste enhances dishes effortlessly while the non-GMO ingredients stay completely light and easy on my digestion. The shaker bottle size provides lasting kitchen longevity, rendering this coastal seasoning a high-quality culinary value for money.

They're tasty, useful, and an interesting item to give a little flavor. Fantastic with seafood of course, but the texture needs some grinding. It's not really all that pleasant to get a chunk stuck in the teeth. It's subtle but nice, similar to if you have a really good quality matcha, you have hints of those flavors here. I like that it's natural, you can really elevate stuff simply but honestly can get the same effect with some good ole MSG without the sprinkle jimmy shape.

I've become such a big fan of this brand. Probably the best seasonings out there for people who are trying to be more sodium conscious (it's me, I'm people). It's packed in a jar about the same size as most standard seasonings from other brands and for the quality and size I think the price is reasonable.This is definitely a salty umami flavor, if you've had seaweed snacks that's probably the best comparison. I wouldn't use this as a straight up replacement for salt, but I've been using it to top off dishes I'd normally top off with salt and it salads, and it adds a great flavor.

I’m honestly amazed by these Salicornia flakes! How did I go my whole life without knowing about them? I’ve sprinkled them on salads, sandwiches, pizza, pasta, soups, and eggs, and everything I’ve tried them on has tasted even better.They have a salty taste, but there’s more to the flavor: a wonderful savory umami quality with a hint of fresh herbs. That combination makes even something as simple as eggs feel a little more special. I keep finding new things to sprinkle them on!This has quickly become one of my favorite seasonings, and I will definitely be ordering it regularly. Such a delicious discovery!

After having tried a few of the saltwise salicornia seasonings blends, it was nice to try the salicornia by itself. The flavor is good, I don't know how better to describe it than the salty umami flavor. Has a lower sodium content that plain salt. Little shaker works great and is easy to open and use. While the price is high, I feel the value is as well for what you get here, the seasoning goes a long way.

I am loving this new-to-me herb! Salicornia has such an interesting savory, briny character that brings something special to the table. These flakes are a fun way to add another layer of flavor and gratifying texture to vegetables, beans, soups, rice, and all sorts of savory dishes. If you’re an enthusiastic home cook who enjoys experimenting with ingredients beyond the usual salt-and-pepper routine, this is right up your alley.I especially appreciate having an ingredient that offers that sea-kissed, umami quality without reaching for another conventional seasoning blend. I have even eaten these flakes by themselves, and they taste super fresh and briny. A fantastic addition to my pantry, and one I’m happy to recommend to fellow flavor and health-conscious enthusiasts! Sensational value too.

See now this is interesting I've never heard of umami nutritional stuff and to be honest I'm not 100% sure what it's made of but it is good it tastes good it adds a beefiness to food on its own it's not the best but when you add it to food it definitely spices things up a little bit I would not hesitate to purchase this again and I look forward to having it on a few different meals I think it would do better with meat meals the quality is good you get more than enough for you know a good amount of meals and overall I can't really complain about it I didn't know it existed until I ordered it and I would not hesitate to order it again

I love umami flavors, and have liked getting to eat Salicornia when I've been near the coasts. I was really excited to get to try these dried flakes, and they do not disappoint! 1.7 oz may not sound like much, but these are dried plant matter, so there's a lot of volume in 1.7 oz. The flavor is salty, but complex, with notes of asparagus (no wonder they call it "sea asparagus") and with a texture that's a little more bodied than seaweed flakes. I love it sprinkled on pastas, or on top of soups. It's super versatile, and can work anywhere that you want salt and vegetables together (which is almost everywhere for me!) It's a lovely product, and there was no dust or crushed powder in the bottom of the bottle. And a little goes a long way, so for under $8 as of this listing, it's a lot of bang for the buck.

I have a half dozen or so seasoning blends from SaltWise, and they are all high quality flavorings that allow me to reduce the total sodium but keep the flavor from salty taste (it's not exactly the same as table or sea salt, but it's awfully close and has the same overall affect on my dishes.)This particular one is definitely a great umami add with a bit of a lighter taste than some of my mushroom-based umami seasonings. I still defnitely pick up the umami taste/mouth feel with this.To test this seasoning I did what I do with all of the ones that aren't sweet and mixed a little bit in some sour cream and used it as a dip for my pretzels. (And in this case, to test the saltiness from the dip alone and not the dip/pretzel combo, my finger as well.) That gives me a better idea and feel for the types of foods I'd like to use the seasoning on without potentially ruining a dish.The flakes in this one are the salicornia alone - where several other SaltWise products that I have are blends. That gives me a salty flavor that also reminds me a little of a seaweed flavor - I'm not sure how else to describe it.I don't think I would use this alone as a pure swap for salt (though you certainly could) but will be most likely to use it as a salt sub in seasoning blends/rubs that I might use (where I don't need the action of the salt in some way such as to draw out moisture or create a certain crust.) Using it this weay I can add a fresh new twist while also reducing sodium to make a seasoning blend healthier.This is a nice sized bottle for the price and the flakes have a fresh look and feel.Another great one from SaltWise!

I was questioning this hardcore on what it is and if I'd like it. But wow I love it. Even picky eaters I have them try it and they like it. Some have said a dried parsley thats salty. This thing is very salty, but in a very addictive way. Almost in an MSG way. Its small and crunchy green "sticks" almost with an interesting appearance. Texture is crunchy, and they're pretty small. Comes in a glass jar with an easy sprinkle or pour.At this price and the flavor this brings in a natural way, yeah I do think this is worth the money.

I had honestly never heard of this before so I had to try it!! it is absolutely delicious! It is very flavorful and full of that umami flavor we all enjoy. I definitely recommend this as well as other products from this company. The bottles themselves are beautiful, but also the product inside it’s very top-notch and high quality. I love everything that I’ve tried from them.! If you’ve never heard of it, do not let it intimidate you! Just try a small amount obviously as you would any spice and add as needed. It is also a very generous size bottle and will last quite some time. I love SaltWise products.!!!!

This was my first time trying salicornia flakes and I must say I am impressed! This is going to be a household staple from now on!I was trying to think of a way to describe the flavor. It is slightly earthy, but in a gentle way. You primarily notice the saltiness, with a crunchy but somewhat soft texture so you get a slight chew that allows it to linger long enough to appreciate the saltiness. If I had to pick something else it tasted like besides salt, I guess I would say a salty version of nori (seaweed; sushi wraps), but with a firmer texture.I love using it as a garnish, it adds some color and amplifies appearance of the dish. But it replaces the need for any table salt. And because the way it sits on top, you get that salty taste with just a couple of flakes.Plus, it is better nutritionally than salt, with less sodium and more nutrients like potassium and magnesium.And it is an easy way to impress guests giving everything you top with it a more finished appearance.

This has an interesting flavor. It's kind of seaweed-y. It doesn't add any texture even though it really looks like it would. It's a bigger seasoning, but I didn't notice it at all on my hashbrowns. It's pretty easy to use, but with the bigger size of the flakes, you do have to shake it more to get enough out. It's interesting looking. The price is a little high, but it's consistent with this brand and the salicornia type of seasonings. Overall, it's pretty good. This is a different kind of flavor, but it's good.
