Smooth cordgrass () is a native salt marsh plant along the Atlantic coast but has become an invasive species in coastal regions in China, as well as other areas. Utilizing it for resources has become a control measure in reducing the spread of . This study assesses the nutritional and phytochemical properties of the edible stems of collected from three locations in Fujian province, China. The tender stems of exhibit a rich nutritional profile, with high levels of protein, carbohydrates, and fats, and significant amounts of essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, indicating their potential as a nutritious addition to the diet or forage. In addition, the levels of potential contaminants, including nitrate, nitrite, cadmium, lead, and chromium, are below the established safe thresholds for consumption. Our results provide valuable information for the sustainable utilization of resources and will contribute to the integrated control of
互花米草是大西洋沿岸的一种本土盐沼植物，但在中国沿海地区以及其他地区已成为入侵物种。将其用于资源利用已成为减少互花米草扩散的一种控制措施。本研究评估了从中国福建省三个地点采集的互花米草可食用茎的营养和植物化学特性。互花米草的嫩茎营养丰富，含有高水平的蛋白质、碳水化合物和脂肪，以及大量必需维生素、矿物质和抗氧化剂，表明它们有潜力作为饮食中的营养补充或饲料。此外，包括硝酸盐、亚硝酸盐、镉、铅和铬在内的潜在污染物水平低于既定的消费安全阈值。我们的研究结果为互花米草资源的可持续利用提供了有价值的信息，并将有助于对互花米草的综合控制
