An analysis of saltworts peppercorn-sized seeds has revealed they are extremely nutritious, having high quantities of proteins, oils, and starches . The seeds are edible, having a nutty taste, and they can be added to salads,
toasted, or even made into miniature popcorn.[3] The oil is
almost identical to saower oil, which is used for cooking
and in salad dressings, as well as for making margarine.
The seeds also contain benecial antioxidants, such as tocopherols, which are thought to ght cancer.
