Chenopodium foliosum) is a species of flowering plant in the amaranth family known by the common name leafy goosefoot.

It can be found on other continents as an introduced species, growing as a minor weed in disturbed habitats and cultivated land.

This is an erect annual herb growing to a maximum height just over half a meter.

The inflorescences are small spherical clusters of tiny reddish-green flowers wrapped around fruits which are about a millimeter wide.

The leaves and inflorescences are edible and resemble spinach; the plant was grown as a leaf vegetable in Europe in former times, and there is some recent interest in its cultivation again.
