Any plants of the family Chenopodiaceae,
including fat-hen or white goosefoot,
Chenopodium album, whose seeds 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 a spinach substitute.
