Organic Greek Rock Samphire in Brine Kritamo 230g

Discover authentic Greek rock samphire (kritamo), an ancient coastal treasure the Greeks call “Pharmacy of the Sea.” This wild plant grows where roots endure salt spray and Mediterranean sun along Greece’s rocky shores. Moreover, certified organic cultivation ensures purity without pesticides or chemical additives.

For centuries, Greek sailors carried kritamo on long voyages. Rich in vitamin C, it protected them from scurvy during months at sea. Furthermore, grandmothers in Crete and Aegean islands traditionally collected it from seaside rocks for family tables. Therefore, each jar connects you to generations of Mediterranean tradition.

This nutritional powerhouse delivers exceptional health benefits naturally. First, it provides abundant vitamin C to strengthen immunity and boost energy. Second, carotenoids and polyphenols offer powerful antioxidant protection against cellular damage. Additionally, the plant’s natural iodine content supports healthy thyroid function and metabolism. In fact, regular consumption helps lower cholesterol and protects cardiovascular health.

The kritamo also provides traditional therapeutic benefits. For instance, its natural diuretic properties help eliminate excess fluids and toxins. Consequently, you experience refreshing revitalization and lightness. Furthermore, it aids digestion beautifully, especially after heavy meals.

The flavor profile captures pure Mediterranean character perfectly. Fresh, salty taste with slightly spicy notes evokes sunshine and sea. Serve it traditionally as meze with ouzo or raki. Alternatively, add it to Greek salads with tomato, cucumber, and olive oil. It enhances grilled fish and seafood dishes magnificently. Moreover, use it as garnish for meat, where its gentle acidity balances richness perfectly.

This certified organic product contains no preservatives or additives. Low in calories yet nutrient-dense, it suits vegans and vegetarians ideally. Each 230g jar preserves authentic Greek coastal flavor.
