(Floras restrict the name to Chenopodium album, but since the rest of the aggregate is rather difficult to identify - all I can manage is fig-leaved goosefoot and maybe quinoa - I expect that in practice the name is applied to the aggregate.) If it passes the duck test .... If anyone is interested, almost all of those are good eating (and not just edible) as spinach alternatives and when flowering or when seeds are just developing as 'broccolis'. A pain to pick, because they are all small, and it's a little surprising that fat hen doesn't seem to have been adopted as a cultivated plant. Quinoa, magenta spreen and a few others are cultivated, mainly in south America, and I have grown and eaten a few. The seeds are edible, too, but I found them to be mostly husk. I don't know how to remove that. Regards, Nick Maclaren. Just to confirm, are you saying that the plant I asked to be IDd is "good eating"?
