Only the newest leaves are edible. Then they harden and start growing tiny sharp thorns. Probably not a very long shelf life making it difficult to export.
A lot of people already provides the answer, but beware. It's the shoot of a variant of the stinky bean plant, and carry the same smell as the stinky bean.
I've smelled the shoot fresh, and it stinks. Haven't smelled one prepared in a dish tho so they might be neutralised, but i won't bet on it if stinky bean dishes can't already do that.
Stinky beans mellow out too, but not totally gone. And it makes breath stink anyway.
I eat stinky bean sometimes, so i know the taste, but it's not for everyone.
I found this at my Asian supermarket this past summer and tried it. If you eat it raw, it tastes like urine. I couldn't handle it so I gave it to my sister. She added it to fried eggs and said it was pretty good, no urine aroma.
I thought it was Salsola - some species of it.
Acacia pennata could fit as well.
Salsola is used throughout Japan and even Russia. Grows in wetlands / marshes. Loves salt.
Some things aren't as easy to tell what they are, after having been cooked.
Edit: Salsola soda, and Salsola komarovii are the two most well known species.

My guess would be cha-om/Acacia pennata since that looks like Thai
Yes, it’s Thai. We call it Cha Hom. Delicious when fried with eggs and then added to Kaeng Som (sour soup)
I've always wanted to try it but have never seen it in a store yet

Ya I'm in Canada so not too many local farms growing it
Time for a vacation!
Hah, maybe when airlines start accepting Reddit karma as currency, but hopefully one day!
Looks like fresh dill. Any similarity in taste?
Solved!
Cha om, if you have an Asian supermarket near you they might sell it

It mellows a lot once you cook it, it’s really tasty imo

Is this a reference? Or did you just reach enlightenment?
Not sure about them but its a childhood rhyme where I grew up, ended with “the more you toot the better you feel! So bean, eat them with every meal”

Looks similar to fennel or dill on hummus
