Strawberry spinach (Chenopodium capitatum)
Strawberry spinach is one of the forgotten vegetables that is making a remarkable comeback in our vegetable gardens. It is cultivated for its leaves which are eaten fresh in salads or steamed and for its magnificent red fruits. However, make no mistake, although they look a lot like strawberries, they taste more like beets. The fruit should be consumed in moderation since the seed contains toxic agents.
