That’s right! We just got back from the beach, but don’t worry, we didn’t take the week off. To keep you entertained, while we were on vacation, we looked into things to forage on the beaches of NC… What did we find? We foraged seaweed for extra nutrients in the compost pile, picked sea rocket and wild roses, and made our own sea salt! All things you can try out next time you pop over to the beach. Check it out below.
Wild sea rocket… like arugula, but the leaves are more like a succulent…
Wild beach roses were turned into an infusion and then into a yummy beachy cocktail (of course!).

Finally, our grand finale… If you are trying to eat more locally, how do you localize your salt intake? Well, if you live in the NC Piedmont, in less than 150 miles, you can make your own local sea salt! We just strained the seawater and then dehydrated it until nothing was left but the salt!
