Chenopodium album is a fast-growing weedy annual plant in the genus Chenopodium. Goosefoot can refer to any one of more than 100 species of flowering plants in the genus Chenopodium and amaranth family that grow in nearly all of the earth’s climates but especially in temperate zones. The species name derives from the fact that many of the plants have leaves that appear to be shaped like a goose’s foot. Goosefoot is not always a welcome plant since the majority of varieties such as lamb’s quarter or pigweed are considered to be weeds with an unpleasant smell. However there are a few varieties such as Jerusalem oak or feather geranium that produce small flowers favored by gardeners. Goosefoot can be an annual or perennial plant and several varieties such as quinoa and strawberry bite are cultivated as a food or cash crop or for medicinal purposes.
