Whatever you call it, Chenopodium album and its edible sisters - there are dozens of useful species - is a versatile weed that offers incredible amounts of nourishment to those who harvest it instead of cursing it.
Chenopodium album, the scientific name of lambs quarter, translates to "white goose foot" and refers to both the white mealy covering and the leaves' resemblance to the webbed foot of a goose.
