J. Scott is a halophytic edible succulent plant belonging to the Amaranthaceae family. To date, the genus includes 28 species distributed worldwide in saline environments, usually salt marshes. Sarcocornia (Scott) is similar to Salicornia (L.), which has a recognized commercial value in morphological and taxonomical traits. Species of both genera are commonly named samphire or glassworts in Europe, and their fleshy shoots are commercialized under their traditional names. Due to their nutritional, organoleptic and medicinal properties, Sarcocornia species have a high economic potential in various biotechnology sectors. Being highly tolerant to salt, they can be cultivated in saline conditions, and dissimilar to Salicornia, they are perennial, i.e., they can be harvested year-round. Therefore, Sarcocornia species are considered promising gourmet vegetables to be explored in the context of climate change, soil and water salinization and eco-sustainability. We hereby put together and reviewed the most relevant information on Sarcocornia taxonomy, morphology, nutritional and pharmacological properties, uses in ethnomedicine, potential applications in biotechnology, and propagation strategies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/foods10112778","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,11]],"date-time":"2021-11-11T23:02:41Z","timestamp":1636671761000},"page":"2778","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":36,"title":["A Review on Sarcocornia Species: Ethnopharmacology, Nutritional Properties, Phytochemistry, Biological Activities and Propagation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4338-7703","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lu\u00edsa","family":"Cust\u00f3dio","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre of Marine Sciences, Campus de Gambelas, University of Algarve, 8005-139 Faro, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Maria Jo\u00e3o","family":"Rodrigues","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre of Marine Sciences, Campus de Gambelas, University of Algarve, 8005-139 Faro, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1131-8773","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Catarina G.","family":"Pereira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre of Marine Sciences, Campus de Gambelas, University of Algarve, 8005-139 Faro, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8839-1389","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Viana","family":"Casta\u00f1eda-Loaiza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre of Marine Sciences, Campus de Gambelas, University of Algarve, 8005-139 Faro, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Eliana","family":"Fernandes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre of Marine Sciences, Campus de Gambelas, University of Algarve, 8005-139 Faro, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7430-6315","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dominic","family":"Standing","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"French Associates Institute for Agriculture and Biotechnology of Drylands, Blaustein Institutes for Desert Research, Sde Boker Campus, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Beersheba 849900, Israel"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0349-9498","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Amir","family":"Neori","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Morris Kahn Marine Research Station, The Leon H.
