I have done a great deal of armchair research in this area. It seems like if we can figure out a way to get the salt out of the cells, Salicornia protein would be an excellent, sustainable way to offer humans a plant based protein for which the inputs are literally sun and sea water and the output is a high quality vegan protein source that can be grown in the dessert. Getting the salt out of the cells was above my head biochem wise but I hope this goes the Tesla route of disruption, starting as a garnish on fancy hipster salads and ending up the standard in staple meal cooking greens. The biggest advantage is the lack of reliable on fresh water and ability to grow on saline land. If we can create the demand the business case for a business whose main inputs are sunlight and seawater is pretty strong.
