About this seed

Why gardeners choose this variety

Edible ice plant, Mesembryanthemum crystallinum, brings an unusual leaf texture to the kitchen garden. Its fleshy leaves carry glistening bladder-like cells that give them the frosted appearance behind the common name. The combination of texture and appearance has made it an unusual salad crop.

Grow it for crisp succulent leaves that can add contrast to softer salad greens or be used as a fresh garnish. The glistening cells are part of the leaf's structure. Growing conditions influence the flavor and saltiness. Use only correctly identified Mesembryanthemum crystallinum as an edible crop.
