How to Make Green Salt
Report
Remember you have a low yield with dried salicornia, but since it's basically a salt substitute, a little goes a long way.

Instructions
- Wash your sea beans well to remove any sand they might have on them.
- OPTIONAL STEP: Boil your sea beans in salty water for 1 to 2 minutes, then shock them in a bowl of ice water. This is only for color. The blanching step keeps the salt greener.
- Dehydrate between 90°F and 105°F until hard and brittle, about 8 to 12 hours.
- Break up the dried sea beans with your fingers, then grind in a spice grinder or a strong blender with a dry blade attachment. Sift the powder to remove any larger bits, and regrind those either in the grinder, or with a mortar and pestle.
- Store in a closed container in the dark indefinitely. It will brown slowly over time, so if you don't use it often, keep it in the freezer.
Notes
- This recipe makes about 1/4 cup and can be scaled up infinitely.
