This plant is often cultivated as forage due to its tolerance for severe conditions of drought, and it can grow easily in very alkaline and saline soils. In addition, it is useful to valorize degraded and marginal areas because it will contribute to the improvement of phytomass in this case. It is a dietary staple for the Sand Rat (Psammomys obesus). Hypoglycemic propertiesExtracts from the leaves have shown to have significant hypoglycemic effects.[2] Use in antiquityAccording to Jewish tradition, the leaves of Atriplex halimus (orache), known in Mishnaic Hebrew as leʻūnīn ({{Lang-he-n|לעונין}}),[3] and in biblical Hebrew (see: {{bibleverse|Job|30:4|31}}) as maluaḥ ({{Lang-he-n|מלוח}}),[4] is said to be the plant gathered and eaten by the poor people who returned out of exile (in circa 352 BCE) to build the Second Temple.[5] Maimonides, in his commentary on Mishnah Kilaim 1:3, as also Ishtori Haparchi in his seminal work, Kaftor u'ferach,[6] both mention the leʻūnīn by its Arabic name, al-qaṭaf, a plant so-named to this very day. In the Mishnah (ibid.) we are told that the laws prohibiting the growing of diverse kinds in the same garden furrow do not apply to beets and to orache (Atriplex spp.) that are grown together, although dissimilar.[7] The Greek comic poet Antiphanes (4th century BCE) seemingly calls it halimon and referring to foraging for it in dry torrent beds (fr. 158 Kassel–Austin).
