Genus: CHENOPODIUM Species: FOLIOSUM (= leafy) (應該就是多葉的..黎科植物..) Family Name: Chenopodiaceae Catalogue No.: 334M English Name: Strawberry Blite (英文名:歡樂草莓...吧?!) Description: (Please note that this latter word has nothing to do with any dreaded plant disease but comes from the Latin word blitum meaning spinach - gosh, did the Romans really make their kids eat the stuff!). This is an interesting plant from southern Europe with soft, fleshy, coarsely toothed, spear-shaped leaves, and bearing spikes of dense clusters of tiny green flowers. These are followed by strawberry (mulberry would be more accurate)-like fruits which are edible and, although somewhat insipid, can be added to salads as an unusual decoration, eaten boiled and seasoned or used as a natural red dye for other foods. Needless to say, the young leaves can be used as a substitute for spinach. 1-2 ft. (大概翻譯一下~沒有翻譯錯的話就是...這是源自於南歐的植物.長相以下所附的圖.雖然它的味道有些清淡.但是也可以像水果一樣的可以被食用.它也常常被用來做比較獨特的沙拉裝飾...........可代替波菜<<這應該是指營養價值吧?!) Classification: Annual, Hardy, First Year Flowering 請比較會英文的大大指正一下~~~謝謝了
