Old Man Salt Bush Ground
Old Man Saltbush (Atriplex nummularia)
Old Man Saltbush (Atriplex nummularia) is a hardy native shrub that thrives across Australia’s dry inland landscapes. Naturally drought tolerant and suited to saline soils, this resilient plant produces beautifully savoury leaves that have become a favourite in contemporary Australian cooking.
With a subtle, crisp texture and gentle salty finish, Saltbush carries soft herbal notes reminiscent of rosemary. These flakes are perfect for spice blends, dukkahs, breads, pasta, dressings and polenta, and pair beautifully with pork, game meats, seafood and even sweet creations like fudge. A simple way to add depth and natural savoury flavour to everyday meals.
