Pickled Wild Samphire

Pickled Wild Samphire (Glasswort) – Coastal Freshness, Natural Salinity & True Mediterranean Essence

Product Overview

Pickled Wild Samphire (Salicornia europaea), known in Turkish as Deniz Börülcesi, is a coastal delicacy native to the Mediterranean and Aegean shores. Naturally rich in minerals and sea salt, this tender green plant offers a crisp texture, slightly salty taste, and refreshing ocean aroma. Once blanched and preserved in mild brine, samphire becomes an exquisite ingredient for seafood dishes, salads, meze assortments, and gourmet menus.

At Tuna Sourcing, we supply ISO 22000-certified Pickled Wild Samphire, sustainably harvested from the unpolluted coastal wetlands of Western Turkey. Each batch is hand-cleaned, blanched, and preserved in lightly salted brine to maintain its vivid green color, tender structure, and natural marine flavor. Available in both retail jars and bulk formats, this rare product delivers the authentic coastal character of the Mediterranean to chefs, importers, and gourmet brands worldwide.
