Trifolium incarnatum (Crimson clover)
Crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum) is a fast-growing annual legume often used as a cover crop to improve soil health by fixing nitrogen, preventing erosion, and suppressing weeds. It is particularly effective in cooler weather and can be planted in spring or fall for various agricultural benefits.
Chenopodium nuttalliae (Huauzontle)
Huauzontle can be considered a superfood due to its rich nutritional profile, providing essential nutrients such as protein, fiber, calcium, iron, phosphorus and many vitamins, including A, C, E and B. Additionally, its abundant flavonoid content imparts potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, bolstering the immune system.
Phaseolus acutifolius (Tepary Bean)
Phaseolus acutifolius, also known as the tepary bean, is a legume native to the southwestern United States and Mexico and has been grown there by the native peoples since pre-Columbian times. It is more drought-resistant than the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) and is grown in desert and semi-desert conditions from Arizona through Mexico to Costa Rica. The water requirements are low. The crop will grow in areas where annual rainfall is less than 400 mm (16 in).
Kochia prostrata [L.] Schrad. (Forage kochia)
Forage kochia (Kochia prostrata (L.) Schrad.), also known as prostrate kochia, or prostrate
summer cypress is a long-lived, perennial, semi-evergreen, half-shrub well adapted to the
temperate, semiarid and arid regions of central Asia and the western U.S. In these areas it
has proven to be a valuable forage plant for sheep, goats, camels, cattle, and horses.
Atriplex canescens
