goosefoot

Any of a group of plants belonging to the goosefoot family, closely related to spinach and beets. The seeds of white goosefoot (C. album) were used as food in Europe from Neolithic times, and also from early times in the Americas. White goosefoot grows to 1 m/3 ft tall and has lance- or diamond-shaped leaves and packed heads of small inconspicuous flowers. The green part is eaten as a spinach substitute. (Genus Chenopodium, family Chenopodiaceae.)
