==Food Use==
Chickweeds are used as food plants by the [[larva]]e of some [[Lepidoptera]] species including [[Angle Shades]], [[Heart and Dart]], [[Riband Wave]], [[Setaceous Hebrew Character]] and the ''[[Coleophora]]'' case-bearers ''C. coenosipennella'' (feeds exclusively on ''Stellaria spp''), ''C. lineolea'' (recorded on ''S. graminea''), ''C. lithargyrinella'' (recorded on ''S. holostea''), ''C. solitariella'' (feeds exclusively on ''S. holostea'') and ''C. striatipennella''.

===Uses===
Some species, including ''Stellaria media'', are used as [[leaf vegetable]]s, often raw in [[salad]]s.
