Nitraria schoberi, the nitrebush (a name it shares with other members of its genus), is a species of flowering plant in the family Nitrariaceae.[2] It has an Irano-Turanian distribution.[1] Its fruit, edible and salty-sweet, are collected by local peoples and eaten fresh or preserved.[3] Archeological evidence shows that people have been eating the fruit since Epipalaeolithic times.[4]
