Sea beet (Beta vulgaris) is the ancestor of cultivated crops such as Beetroot and Swiss Chard. Its fleshy leaves are delicious lightly fried with garlic and butter, and they are bursting with vitamins. I found this plant on the salt-marsh by the sea inlet at Rossadillisk, near Cleggan. There were no other sea beet that I could see nearby, so I thought it best not to take any leaves from this one.
