Chenopodiaceae is the botanical name for a family of flowering plants. This family has been recognized by most taxonomists, but not by the APG II system, of 2003 (unchanged from the APG system, of 1998). The APG has placed these plants in family Amaranthaceae.
Some fourteen hundred species were accepted in this family. Food species include Quinoa, Kañiwa, Fat Hen, Good King Henry, and Epazote (Chenopodium spp.), Orache (Atriplex spp.), spinach (Spinacia oleracea), and, of greatest commercial importance, the crops derived from Beta vulgaris: Sugar beet, Beet, Mangelwurzel and Chard.
Genera of some importance include Atriplex, Beta, Chenopodium, Halogeton, Halosarcia, Salicornia, Salsola, Sarcocornia.
