Rock samphire contains a lot of vitamin c, iodine and essential oils, which is why it is well-suitable as food and was appreciated by navigators because it could be found on every coast. By pickling young leaves and stems in wine vinegar for approx. 4 weeks, it is made permanently durable. This dish is still known as a special Majorcan delicacy today. Furthermore, it can be steamed very well in butter or oil or added to a salad. The flavour is, however, not really similar to the typical taste of fennel. It is fresh and slightly lemony. It suits fish dishes very well.
