The species is widespread in [[North America]], where its [[Range (biology)|range]] extends from [[Canada]] south to [[Michoacán]], [[Mexico]]. It is found in every [[U.S. state]] except [[Hawaii]].<ref name=":4" /> The fast-growing, upright plant can reach heights of more than 3 m.

Although widely regarded as a [[weed]], this species was once one of several plants cultivated by [[Native Americans in the United States|Native Americans]] in [[prehistoric]] North America as part of the [[Eastern Agricultural Complex]]. ''C. berlandieri'' was a [[domestication|domesticated]] [[pseudocereal]] crop, similar to the closely related [[quinoa]] ''C. quinoa.''<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|last=Jarvis|first=David E.|last2=Ho|first2=Yung Shwen|last3=Lightfoot|first3=Damien J.|last4=Schmöckel|first4=Sandra M.|last5=Li|first5=Bo|last6=Borm|first6=Theo J.

=== Seeds ===
 
''Chenopodium'' seeds vary in shape between lenticular and [[cylindrical]].<ref name=":3" /> The lenticular shape is more typical of wild members of the species while cylindrical seeds (said to have a "truncated margin") predominate in domesticated varieties.<ref name=":3" /><ref name=":6" />
 
 
 
The nutritive [[perisperm]] tissue is encircled by the [[Hypocotyl|embryo]] along the seed margin. The [[radicle]] protrudes slightly, producing a visible bump in the [[circumference]] of the seed (called the "beak").<ref name=":7">{{Cite journal|last=Gremillion|first=Kristen J.|date=1993|title=The evolution of seed morphology in domesticated Chenopodium: an archaeological case study|url=|journal=Journal of Ethnobiology|volume=13|pages=149–169|via=}}</ref> Surrounding the perisperm and embryo are three layers: the [[Seed-coat|inner epiderm]], the [[Seed-coat|outer epiderm]], and the [[pericarp]].  The inner epiderm is also called a'''&nbsp;'''[[Seed-coat|tegmen]]'''.''' The outer epiderm is synonymous with [[Testa (botany)|testa]]. Together, the outer and inner epiderm make up the [[Seed-coat|seed coat]]. In ''Chenopodium'' literature, the terms outer epiderm, testa, and seed coat are often used interchangeably.<ref name=":3" />
 
 
 
The pericarp is often [[dehiscent]], but is non-dehiscent in some varieties.<ref name=":8">{{Cite journal|last=Asch|first=David L|last2=Asch|first2=Nancy B|date=1977|title=Chenopod as cultigen: A re-evaluation of some prehistoric collections from eastern North America|url=|journal=Midcontinental Journal of Archaeology|volume=|pages=3–45|via=}}</ref> In domesticated varieties, the seed coat may be reduced or absent.<ref name=":3" /> Uniform seed assemblages with seed coats less than 20&nbsp;µm thick are considered to represent domesticated population.<ref name=":6" /><ref name=":7" /><ref name=":3" /> Conversely, wild populations tend to produce seeds with seed coat thicker than 20&nbsp;µm.<ref name=":6" /><ref name=":7" />
 
 
 
==Taxonomy==
 
The species includes two [[subspecies]]: the [[biological type|type]] subspecies (i.e. ''C. b.'' ssp. ''berlandieri'') and ''C. b.'' ssp.

As many as six [[extant taxon|extant]] [[variety (biology)|varieties]] of ''C. b.'' ssp. ''berlandieri'' have been identified:<ref name=flora/>
 
*''C. b.'' subsp. ''berlandieri ''var. ''berlandieri''
 
*''C. b.'' subsp. ''berlandieri'' var. ''boscianum''
 
*''C. b.'' subsp. ''berlandieri'' var. ''bushianum'' (Bush's goosefoot)
 
*''C. b.'' subsp. ''berlandieri'' var. ''macrocalycium''
 
*''C. b.'' subsp. ''berlandieri'' var. ''sinuatum''
 
*''C. b.'' subsp. ''berlandieri'' var. ''zschackii'' (Zschack's goosefoot)
 
The extinct variety is well-documented, though it may represent more than one taxon:<ref name=":5" />
 
* ''C. b.'' subsp. ''jonesianum''
 
Additionally, the [[cultivar]]s of the ''C. b. nuttalliae'' subspecies are:<ref name=smith2006/><ref name=Wilson1979>{{citation| doi=10.2307/2442525| last=Wilson| first=Hugh D.; Heiser Jr., Charles B.| author2=Heiser, Charles B| title=The Origin and Evolutionary Relationships of 'Huauzontle' (''Chenopodium nuttalliae'' Safford), Domesticated Chenopod of Mexico| jstor=2442525| year=1979| journal=American Journal of Botany| volume=66| issue=2| pages=198–206| postscript=<!--none-->}}</ref>
 
*'Huauzontle' - This cultivar is a more recent selection used in commercial cultivation for a [[broccoli]]-like crop. It is a "naked" variety and has a testa only 2-7&nbsp;µm thick (cf. human hair, which is about 100&nbsp;µm wide).
 
*'Chia' - Grown as a grain crop, this cultivar is declining and is cultivated only on a local level. It also has a very thin testa, though slightly thicker than the previous at 10-20&nbsp;µm.
 
*'Quelite' - This cultivar is cultivated for its [[spinach]]-like leaves.
 
The species is capable of [[Hybrid (biology)|hybridizing]] with the related introduced [[European Continent|European]] ''[[Chenopodium album]]'', which it resembles, giving the hybrid ''C. × variabile'' Aellen.<ref name="floraalbum">{{Citation| last =Clemants| first =Steven E.; Mosyakin, Sergei L.| contribution =''Chenopodium album''| year =2004| title =Flora of North America| editor-last =Flora of North America Editorial Committee, eds. 1993+| volume =4| page =296| contribution-url =http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=1&taxon_id=200006809| place=New York & Oxford| publisher =Oxford University Press| postscript =<!--none-->}}</ref>

The principal difference between wild and domesticated forms of C''henopodium'' is the thickness of the seed coat.
