Greens labeled as romeritos and identified as a species of Suaeda were purchased from Berkeley Bowl. They were tasted raw, and also simmered in a mole sauce. The taste was similar to other salt-tolerant Amaranthaceae such as Chenopodium or Blitum bonus-henricus.
The Spanish name "romeritos" means "little rosemaries" (from the visual resemblance), and the dish is apparently associated with Christmas time.
