What does ORACH mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A leafy plant of the genus Atriplex, related to spinach and sometimes called mountain spinach, cultivated or foraged as a vegetable.
Orach grows readily in poor or salty soil, which made it a useful vegetable long before more delicate greens could be reliably grown, and cooks have long treated its leaves much like spinach, wilting them down for soups and side dishes. Some varieties show striking red or purple leaves and are grown as much for colour in the garden as for eating. The plant is also spelled orache, and both spellings refer to the same family of hardy, edible greens.
