View photos of the edible plant Atriplex rosea (Tumbling orache), profiled in Wild Edible Plants of Arizona.

A passage from Wild Edible Plants of Arizona:

Related to Amaranth and Lambsquarters, botanically and in use, consider Tumbling orache a low–level edible cooked green. The young leaves are gathered early–mid August and simmered/rinsed and consumed as a spinach–like vegetable.
