It looks like a weed, grows anywhere, appears out of nowhere, is very resistant and is rich in:

  • Vitamins: A, beta carotene, B1, B2, B3, C, E.
  • Minerals: potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus ... more than spinach!
  • Amino acids
  • Bioflavonoids as liquiritine
  • Important antioxidants such as glutathione or betalains.
  • Neurohormones and neurotransmitters in the fresh plant such as dopamine and l-noradrenaline (vasoconstrictor, antihypotensive and helping reduce bleeding)
