Amaranthaceae

The Amaranthaceae are a family of dicotyledons, included among the Caryophyllales. Notable members include amaranth and tumbleweeds.

Newer classifications may also place the former family Chenopodiaceae here, including goosefoot, quinoa, beets, spinach, and the like.

Without the Chenopodiaceae, there are about 25 genera in the family; with them, about 60.
