Nutrition: Edible plants that are found in or near the ocean generally have a better balance of amino acids, compared with land based plants, although they tend to be deficient in sulphuric amino acid. Salicornia is mostly comprised of complex carbohydrates and it is low in fat and calories. This plant is an excellent source of B-complex vitamins, plus vitamin C, and is particularly high in vitamin A. Salicornia is also a good source of the minerals, calcium, iodine and iron. In fact, a salicornia supplement is sold for those who do not eat enough seafood and therefore lack iodine in their diet. One variety of the salocornia plant is also used to make cooking oil which has high levels of linoleic acid, that are equal to that of safflower oil.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
A: Generally you boil 20g of tea/herb with 2L. of water. The ratio does not matter. However, it is recommended that you control the
saturation of the tea (how strong it is) depending on your personal
preference and body condition.
A: It depends on the tea/herb.
For leaves: boil for 15~20 min.
For hard fruits, roots, and stems: If you soak the tea/herb in water
for 1~2 hours before boiling, you can save time in boiling, and also
get a deeper flavor than without soaking.
A: Currently, what is listed on the site is what we mostly deal with in
retail stores. However, if there is a certain tea/herb that you wish to
get, you can send an email to info@leafnflower.com. or 844-344-0622.
Then, we may offer a price for obtaining the tea/herb, answer questions, and even offer purchase.
A: Yes, you can combine 5~10g of teas/herbs that you already have with Leafnflower.com's teas/herbs.
Although brewing one tea/herb is still good, combining 2~3 teas/herbs helps bring out
the remedial effects of the tea/herbs better than brewing just one tea/herb. However, most tea/herbs contain natural toxins,
and it is recommended that you boil 1~2 pieces of liquorice root along with the tea/herb to remove the toxin.
