Glacial Ficoid ( Mesembryanthemum crystallinum)
Also called 'Icegrass', icy ficoid is native to South Africa. Its foliage, which seems covered with frost or dew, is slightly tart, very pleasant to the taste and is eaten raw in salads or cooked in butter. Its tiny flowers are delicate and very original. Easy to grow, undemanding, but fears frost.
