Do you eat Chenopodium ?

I'm getting curious about Chenopodium and Amaranthus. They seem to be plentyfull around me.
I don't know them enough to eat them yet but do you ?

What does it taste? Are they truly like spinach?
How do you use them?
Do you find them a lot ?

Tell me more!

  • I think it’s going to depend on which Chenopodium – Wikipedia lists Chenopodium as a fairly large and diverse genus (which includes both quinoa (seeds) and lamb’s quarters (leaves))

    • I was vague on purpose. As of now, I've been looking at Amaranthus retroflexus and found what looked Chenopodium album instead. But since we all come from different places, I thought you all might forage other types as well.
