Old Man’s Saltbush is one of over 100 species of Saltbush native to Australia. Found in the arid interior regions, Old Man’s Saltbush is famed for its salty, umami flavour and incredible drought-tolerant properties as a feed for livestock like lamb.

Saltbush can be used as delicious herb that is lower in sodium than table salt, so acts as a terrific alternative. Pour a teaspoon into stews, soups, or curries, or simply sprinkle over roasted potatoes for a deep, rich, and salty add-on. Try frying in extra virgin olive oil to add a crunchy, salty garnish that you can put in salads.
