Mesembryanthemum crystallinum, Aizoaceae
Ice plant
Ficoïde glaciale is a curious leafy vegetable whose stems and leaf bases are covered with small papillae filled with a salty liquid that glistens like frost in the sun. Its tempered-glass appearance and lack of fragrance don't prepare us for the juicy, sweetly tangy surprise it provides. Raw or lightly cooked, at its best harvested in September following the arrival of fresh weather.
This tender perennial is grown as an annual in our climate. It is native to South Africa, where it grows near the coast on sand dunes. 30 cm tall.

Press the seeds onto the surface of a potting soil (preferably one with a high coarse sand content), then transplant to full sun in soil that's not too heavy, with a minimum of 35 cm in all directions. Or sow the tiny seeds directly where they will grow, always on the surface, and keep moist until germination, which takes 2 weeks. Ficoid grows well in a Styrofoam cooler with holes in the bottom.
