Introduction:
Chenopodium album Linn. is a nutritionally and pharmacologically significant herb that generally grows in the winter season along with other crops. It is rich in fibers, protein, minerals (Mg, Ca, Fe, K, P, and others), vitamins (ascorbic acids, thiamine, riboflavin, and others), and several other biologically active chemical components like flavonoids, saponins, steroids and many more. In this article, the authors briefly describe and assess the chemistry and pharmacology of this nutritionally significant plant.
Methods:
This study is based on several literature searches conducted via Google Scholar, Research Gate, PubMed, and many other online sources.
Result And Conclusion:
Due to its richness with bioactive phytochemicals, it has become a valuable functional food. C. album has several medicinal properties like antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-arthritic, anti-diabetic, anti-infection, anti-ulcer, and many others. Even after its rich nutritional values, chemical compositions, and a broad spectrum of pharmacological properties, this is a highly ignored herb worldwide. Therefore, extensive research and awareness regarding the functional role of this herb is needed.
