Chenopodium is a genus of about 150 species of flowering plants in the family Amaranthaceae, known generically as the Goosefoots. It contains several plants of minor to moderate importance as food crops, both leaf vegetables and pseudo-cereals, including Quinoa, Kañiwa, Fat Hen, Good King Henry, and Epazote. Goosefoots are used as food plants by some Lepidoptera species including Heart and Club.
Under the older Cronquist system of plant classification, they were treated in their own family, the Chenopodiaceae.
