Chenopodiaceae
Spinach plant family
Chenopodiaceae is a plant family commonly called the goosefoot family, named for the shape of leaves in many species.
It includes spinach, beets, chard, and quinoa, as well as salt-tolerant plants like saltbush and glasswort.
Many taxonomists now fold this family into the broader Amaranthaceae.
