Beta vulgaris
Some species, such as spinach ("Spinacia oleracea") or forms of beet ("Beta vulgaris") (beetroot, chard), are used as vegetables. Forms of "Beta vulgaris" include fodder beet ("Mangelwurzel") and sugar beet. The seeds of "Amaranthus", lamb's quarters ("Chenopodium berlandieri"), quinoa ("Chenopodium quinoa") and kañiwa ("Chenopodium pallidicaule") are edible and are used as pseudocereals.
