“…This plant is sold as "sea asparagus" or "samphire" and used as a fresh vegetable in gourmet kitchens, in the industrial sector (e.g., pickles, salami, beer and biosalt), and for animal food (COSTA;HERRERA, 2016;ALVES et al, 2019). Salicornia neei shoots have high mineral content (DONCATO; COSTA, 2018a;2018b;ALVES et al, 2020) and bioactive properties (COSTA et al, 2014;SOUZA et al, 2018).
