Did you know that the pickle weed is edible?

 

Pickle weed (Batis maritima) is an invasive, (spread rapidly) or introduced plant in Hawaii. It has succulent, (fleshy, juicy) brilliant green leaves. These leaves are about 1 to 3 centimeters long. It has small, greenish white flowers.

The pickle weed thrives in lowland mudflats, fish ponds, and salt water marshes. It can be harmful to the wetland because it can spread and cover the water preventing the sun from penetrating into the water.
