Info On The Go
Lamb's Quarter (A Dash of Info)
Today, we’re spotlighting a plant you’ve probably pulled out of your garden, stepped on by the roadside, or mistaken for a weed—and that’s because, well, it is a weed. But not just any weed.
Meet lamb’s quarters (Chenopodium album), also known as goosefoot, wild spinach, and sometimes (mistakenly) lumped in with pigweed. This scrappy little green might not win any beauty contests, but it's quietly packing a nutritional punch—and a fascinating backstory.
From the ancient fields of Europe and the Americas to the backyards of modern foragers, lamb’s quarters has been nourishing people for millennia. Rich in vitamins A and C, calcium, iron, magnesium, and even protein, it’s like spinach’s wild cousin—just tougher, more adaptable, and arguably tastier.
We dig into why this plant has been both revered and reviled, how it got its farmyard name (spoiler: it has nothing to do with lambs), and why its goosefoot-shaped leaves might just deserve a spot on your plate. Plus, we tackle the facts about oxalic acid, kidney stones, and how to cook this green safely and deliciously.
It’s a story of resilience, resourcefulness, and rethinking what we call "weeds." So grab your foraging basket—or just look in your driveway cracks—and get ready to meet one of nature’s most underrated power greens.
