Fat hen, also known as lambs quarters, is a plant that can be used as an herb, but is also considered a nuisance weed in many areas. This plant is hearty and can grow even in the worst conditions. You’ll probably not find this veggie available in your local grocery store; however, it can sometimes be found at health food stores and local farmer’s markets. You may even find it growing wild in your area. Some people enjoy eating fat hen raw and enjoy its cabbage-like flavor. Others enjoy it steamed or sautéed, and combined with onions, garlic and cream sauces.
