This variety of edible amaranth, also known as Chinese spinach, has tender, broadly dented leaves. The rich purple-red color is present very early, in the first 2-3 weeks of growth. Perfect for micro greens and adds a spark to salads and as garnish. Amaranth will tolerate hot, dry and moist conditions and does not like cold temperatures. In Chinese and Vietnamese cuisine, this vegetable is used in stir-fry and soups, while traditional Greek cooking calls for it in place of spinach. Hopi Indians used this plant as an early food dye. Once the plants have gone to seed, the seeds may be ground for high-protein flour.
- Maturity: Approx. 14 to 50 days
