'''Amaranthus blitum''' is a vigorous annual plant. The stems can be simple or branched, sometimes radiating from base and forming mats. The edible leaves and seeds are sometimes gathered from the wild and used locally.
==Chemical Composition==
The composition of Amaranthus blitum is comparable to that of Amaranthus cruentus, samples of the former analyzed in India showing about the same composition. The moisture content and composition show large variations as a function of plant age, ecological conditions and cultural practices such as fertilizing.<ref name="chemical composition"/>
