In the US this is a plant commonly known as "goosefoot" there are other names for it as well. I've tried it in the past when I have been in the great outdoors. What are it's usefulness for health? It's supposed to generally contain vitamins and minerals. I would first suggest finding out about pesticides and soil condition. The Latin, ie scientific name (try Wikipedia etc.) or a book on botany foraging, etc.
I generally wash the herb before consumption.
Making a "tea" out of it is a good place to start.
My experience with the herb has been exceptable in the past, but some prefer the markets.
Cultivation is something I haven't necessarily tried to do. But farming and discovering something new to do in my middleyouth are possibly my next steps.
It's an inexact science and it's important to consider what appeals to ones own pallet.

Always do research before utilizing any "herb" or "weed" because many of them are interesting. Make sure you don't over harvest when out in nature. Some are rare and some are bad for your personal health. Water and photons aussi. Notations from above ground. |
