How does the process of harvesting samphire work?
Samphire is hand-harvested from saltwater environments, such as salt marshes and tidal flats. Experienced pickers carefully cut the upper parts of the plant, taking sustainability and preservation of the natural environment into account. After harvesting, samphire is washed, possibly sorted, and packaged for distribution. Samphire is a natural vegetable that retains its unique flavor and texture when consumed fresh. Harvesting is done with care and respect for the natural environment, to enjoy this flavorful vegetable in a sustainable way.
