Default Sea Beans (aka Salicornia or Saltwort)

Sea Beans normally grow in salt marshes, and are often foraged and used by chefs.

I am growing Sea Beans this year in my field, which is definitely not a saltmarsh -- A Japanese variety that does not need to grow in saline (salty) soil.

However, the attraction to Sea Beans is often correlated with the saltiness of the tender stems/leaves, and so I am anticipating that I will need to "salt" my sea bean beds to enhance flavor.

Does anyone here have any experience producing Sea Beans by salting the beds that they are growing in?
