Amaranthus blitum, commonly called purple amaranth[1] or Guernsey pigweed,[2] is an annual plant species in economically important plant family Amaranthaceae.
Native to the Mediterranean region, it is naturalized in other parts of the world, including much of eastern North America.[1] Although weedy, it is eaten in many parts of the world.[3] The Greeks call the Amaranthus blitum var. silvestre, vlita (Modern Greek: βλίτα), and eat the leaves and the tender shoots cooked in steam or boiled and then served with olive oil, lemon and salt.
