Lambs Quarters (Chenopodium album )

June 24, 2022

This plant is coming up in beds that I weeded in the spring to plant other things. Any bed I didn't plant in has some of this stuff growing.

My neighbor ID'd it as Lamb's Quarters and I've been told it is edible. However, it needs to be cooked to remove the Oxalic acid content. I've sauteed it with garlic, pine nuts and raisins a couple of times and found it delicious.
