Salicornia grows naturally along seashores worldwide. As a halophyte, it grows using seawater and accumulates salt in its biomass. Often referred to as sea beans or sea asparagus, Salicornia has long been recognized as a sustainable resource. However, due to its high salt content, it was traditionally too salty to be consumed directly. Phyto Corporation has pioneered an innovative process to isolate and separate salt from Salicornia, unlocking its full potential. The result is PhytoSalt, a plant-based salt, and PhytoMeal, a new food resource derived from Salicornia.

​

Beyond food innovation, Phyto Corporation is leading the way in nature-based blue carbon solutions. Salicornia is a powerful blue carbon plant that captures and stores a large amount of CO₂ in soil. By leveraging Phyto Corporation’s innovative patented technologies to cultivate Salicornia at scale, the company is developing a sustainable carbon capture system that contributes to climate change mitigation while also creating valuable plant-based products.
