'''Amaranthaceae''' is a family of [[flowering plants]] known as the [[amaranth]] family. It now includes the former goosefoot family Chenopodiaceae, and contains a high diversity of edible plants, from supermarket staples to nutritious "weeds".
 
 
 
Some species, such as [[spinach]] (''[[Spinacia oleracea]]'') or forms of [[Beta (plant)|beet]] (''[[Beta vulgaris]]'') ([[beetroot]], [[chard]]), are used as [[vegetable]]s. Forms of ''Beta vulgaris'' include fodder beet (''[[Mangelwurzel]]'') and [[sugar beet]]. The seeds of ''[[Amaranthus]]'', [[lamb's quarters]] (''Chenopodium berlandieri''), [[quinoa]] (''Chenopodium quinoa'') and [[kañiwa]] (''Chenopodium pallidicaule'') are edible and are used as [[pseudocereals]].
 
 
 
''[[Dysphania ambrosioides]]'' (epazote) and ''Dysphania anthelmintica'' are used as [[medicinal herbs]].
