They get their various names from their triangle or goose foot shaped leaves that sport bright magenta hues. This plant is pest free, easy to grow care for.Enjoy it as micro greens, baby leaves, or more mature leaves. You can use Goosefoot leaves like Spinach leaves, added raw to salads sandwiches. They are wonderful steamed, etc because they keep their beautiful color after cooking. The plants are fast growing with “cut come again” leaves. Goosefoot will grow well in containers so you can keep some close by.Sow some out as an ornamental to enjoy their full-sized beauty, then reap the rewards of the seed harvest from these plants too! You can allow them to reseed in place, collect the seeds for next year, or even eat the cooked seeds. A relative of Quinoa, the seeds can be cooked eaten, or can also be ground combined with other grains for baking more. (The seeds contain saponins, so soak them in water overnight then rinse them well before consuming.) Spent plants can even be turned into a valuable green manure.This beautiful useful plant gets my vote!* RECEIVE A FREE GIFT FROM SEEDVILLE USA’S “WILD SIDE” CONSERVATION TEAM WITH EVERY ORDER!
