As soon as the snow melts, you can enjoy its abundant, fleshy, arrow-shaped leaves, which are reminiscent of spinach, only more pronounced. As soon as the weather warms up, the flowering shoots appear and are eaten like asparagus or broccoli... these are the most prized parts. Older leaves can develop a pungent taste, and for this reason are not picked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although little known, it has been cultivated and consumed for centuries, spreading throughout Europe. Over time, it became the \"poor man's spinach\", and then fell into oblivion. It is now being rediscovered thanks to permaculture and the renewed interest in perennial vegetables. Like many spontaneous plants, it is highly nutritious: rich in fiber, protein, zinc, folic acid, vitamins A and E... <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">but being a member of the spinach family, it should be eaten in moderation because of its oxalic acid content.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the garden, goosefoot is very easy to grow. It is not very demanding, preferring cool, nitrogen-rich soil. It likes sun but tolerates a little shade. A good dose of ripe compost will multiply the harvest. 20-60 cm high.
