Old Man Saltbush (Atriplex nummularia)

Old Man Saltbush is a hardy Australian native shrub known for its silvery-grey foliage and natural salt tolerance. Traditionally used by Indigenous Australians, its leaves have a subtle salty flavour with a hint of earthiness, making it a unique addition to modern bush food cuisine.

Culinary Uses:

• Use fresh or dried leaves as a seasoning in meat rubs and marinades

• Add to bread or damper for a savoury twist

• Sprinkle over roasted vegetables for extra flavour

• Infuse into sauces or dressings

• Use as a salty garnish on canapés or cheese platters

• Wrap around meats or fish before roasting or grilling
