I read your article on Lambs Quarter. I grew up in New Mexico, and Lambs Quarter was something we gathered along with purslane.
I would like to know if you have Lambs Quarter seed of sale.

Hi Philip, I’m not aware of any lab analysis on the nutritional make up of lambs quarters but leafy greens in general are considered nutritionally dense vegetables. It is interesting how widespread many of the common wild edibles are, and lambs quarters are one of my favorites! God Bless you too!

Kenny, I have known about Lambsquarters as a delicious wild edible for about 30 years. Growing up in Pennsylvania, we ate it on a regular basis. I was just now on chat with a friend in Mexico who I told about it and said to her that while i was in mexico this year for 6 months on a missionary trip I spotted it in her hometown of Dolores Hidalgo. I was happy to see it, and ate some while i was in Mexico. I have always loved it, and would be interested to know if an analysis has ever been done to determine the nutritional content of lambsquarters. God bless
