Lamb’s quarters are a wild annual green with dull green leaves that have toothed edges. This annual is considered a weed by many but is entirely edible; belonging to the spinach and beet family. The leaves are an excellent source of vitamin C and iron.

Lamb’s Quarter Storage

Treat leaves like salad greens when it comes to storage.
