The power of plants
Marsh samphire can be found all along the shorelines of Europe, and every year produces cylindrical branches that resemble a type of ragged cactus. Beneath its rough exterior, the plant has developed a remarkable biological organization. It is halophilic (likes salt) and is perfectly able to survive in its harsh coastline conditions. It also resists tidal flows by regulating the water levels within its cells. Used as a food because of its high content of vitamins and minerals, marsh samphire also produces an oil which is adaptable for use in skin care products.
