Are there any foods that grow from nature naturally salty?

My co-worker and I were discussing sun flower seeds and dry fruit. She said no natural grown fruits or veggies are salty, that is something you have to add to the food. So we were just wondering if there actually is any food that grows with salt - don't know if I am asking the right way, but I am sure someone out there understands what I am trying to get at.

there are traces of salt in everything -- just not salty like salted sunflower seeds.



salt is used as a preservative to keep things from growing -- nothing could grow in just salt.
Reply:I would ask this under the General Food category.
Reply:Many fruits and veggies contain natural sodium, especially edible sea vegetables, such as kombu, arame, nori, dules, kelp, spirulina, laver, hijiki, and other sea grasses. I just ate a nice salad with a mixture of all of the above, fresh ginger, sesame oil and lime juice. I eat seaweed salads daily, and add them to other dishes instead of salt. My favorite for flavoring beans and grains is dulse-it adds a nice salty flavor, rich minerals and enzymes to my dishes. The salads are fresh tasting and great for the body. Its an aquired taste, I am sure, but one that I really enjoy.
Reply:Most seafood from the ocean including seaweed.
Reply:salt is in plants and animals.... yes, veggies have salt as do all animals.
Reply:Seaweed.
Reply:I can not think of one. I'm thinking that if there was something that grew and was naturally salty it would have to grow in some kind of salt environment, and I don't think too many things do. I never ate kelp or seaweed, maybe they are salty.
