Quinoa
Snip
I have found a reference Fat hen ; it is Chenopodium album and Robin Clayfield in "You Can Have Your Permaculture and Eat It Too' says that seeds and greens are edible. So its of the same family as quinoa but different species. Fat Hen Salad. 4 cups young tender leaves 1 avocado 2 large tomatoes, cut into wedges 3 shallots, cut into small circles 6 tbs of dressing. Thank you Robin, I enjoy this book immensly, its a real compodium of a permaculture for cooks and gardeners plus you name it. If you are interested I would think it could be bought from Robin At 58 Crystal Waters, MS16, Maleny, Queensland, 4552 |

Yup- leaves are allegedly a spinach substitute but I think she's pushing it with the seeds- apparently it did used to be used as a 'gruel' in earlier times- when I had lots of fat hen going to seed I harvested it like a good little permaculturist and put some in a soup I made- IIRC it was gritty and got stuck between the teeth and the kids wouldn't touch it ever again....
