Think of this plant as you would lambsquarters (Chenopodium alba & etc) only instead of the green seed head with black seeds it has a red juicy sweetish seed head with edible black seeds, leaves and "fruit". Plant is drought tolerant and can get to about 2ft high +/-.
I also recommend chenopodium gigantea var magenta for multiple and colorful, nutrient packed leaf harvests from a plant that can reach 12-15 ft.
I have a few pounds of seed if anyone wants some. It's one of my favorite "weeds". Seeds are also edible and rich in complex proteins. It will grow anywhere in disturbed soils.

Thye the Sand Hill seed site I found the following:
"Beetberry: 70 days. Plant early. Tasty berry-like fruits on the stems. Sometimes called Strawberry Spinach. Pkt. $2.00 "
Anyone have any experience with this one?
