Chenopodium foliosum
An heirloom cultivated for over 400 years, native to moist mountain valleys of North America, and popular in Europe since the 1600s. Plants have smaller, thinner leaves than spinach but are used the same way, raw or cooked. After flowering, many small edible strawberry-like fruits appear along the stems. Wait til they are fully ripe – dark red and soft – before eating. Use in green or fruit salads or sprinkled on muesli. Annual which self seeds readily – pops up in our garden at any time of year and is always welcome! A great one for the kids’ garden or for chook forage.

Jo has a passion for growing herbs but is not a qualified herbalist and has no medical background.
We are lucky to have Patricia Beagle working here at times, who is qualified, and some of her advice does appear on these pages, but herbs act differently for different people and can interact with other medicines. We therefore always recommend that you consult with your own qualified health-care practitioner before using herbal products, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing or on any medications.
