The plant you see in the picture is one of the most miraculous plants in the world

I’m afraid I can’t see the actual image you’re referring to, but based on the conversation and context, it sounds like you might be talking about lamb’s quarters (Chenopodium album)—sometimes nicknamed “wild spinach.” If that’s the plant in question, it truly is often considered a “miraculous” or at least highly valuable wild edible. Here’s why:

  1. Nutrient Density

    • Lamb’s quarters leaves are rich in vitamins (A, C, several B vitamins) and minerals (such as calcium, iron, and magnesium).
    • Like spinach, it also provides a decent amount of plant-based protein.
  2. Culinary Versatility

    • Young leaves can be eaten raw in salads or smoothies.
    • Mature leaves taste great when lightly cooked—steamed or sautéed—similar to spinach or Swiss chard.
  3. Easy to Find and Grow

    • Often labeled a weed, lamb’s quarters pops up in gardens and disturbed soil with little encouragement.
    • It’s hardy and can thrive in different environments, making it a convenient wild green if you identify it correctly and ensure it’s grown in chemical-free areas.
  4. Potential Health Benefits

    • The plant’s array of nutrients can support general well-being.
    • Some people also harvest the seeds (akin to its relative, quinoa) as a grain substitute.

If you had a different plant in mind, feel free to provide more details or a clearer image (once you can) so we can discuss its benefits and uses more accurately. Foraging always carries a degree of risk, so if you plan on eating any wild plant, make sure you identify it correctly—preferably with the help of a local expert.
