So, as many of you may know, I live on a boat, traveling the world by sea. Though today in most places it is possible to obtain at least some decent nutrition no matter where (Azores sometimes impossible), I am interested. Scurvy Grass, what is the best preparation for it and do I need any special utensils?

2For the "what can I cook with it" part (which as GdD hints is off-topic) part, maybe you'd be willing to instead ask whether it's good cooked (or just raw) and what kinds of existing recipes you could add/substitute it into? For the "where can I find it"... it does look very much like this is something that's not at all commercially grown, so you'd have to forage? I suspect finding/identifying plants in nature is a bit outside our wheelhouse as well.– Cascabel ♦Commented Feb 8, 2017 at 15:59

1Cooking is oft implicated in destroying (at least some) vitamin C, so you might not want to...?– EcnerwalCommented Feb 8, 2017 at 16:23

@Ecnerwal. Good Point. Perhaps, in order to retain the vit c I should have said 'eat - serve' with it etc... Let's just say that the vit c is not important, and I just like the taste of scurvy grass - after all it's a free world... isn't it?– dougal 5.0.0Commented Feb 8, 2017 at 16:41

1Often an expensive one, in my experience, which I'd think you'd know since you have a hole in the water and those are commonly associated with throwing money in them (or standing fully clothed under a cold shower ripping up $100 bills, as a simulation...) ;-) I like wood sorrel, myself.– EcnerwalCommented Feb 8, 2017 at 16:45

I would suggest that you look to Rene Redzepi's new Nordic cuisine, which sources the very type of ingredient(s) in which you're interested. Common scurvy-grass grows along French, northern Spanish, Danish and Norwegian coasts and on mountain peaks in Western Europe. Weigh anchor and sail to the Basque Country coast, and search the Barbadun, Plentzia and Urdaibai estuaries.
