Amaranth seeds have been used since ancient times in Central and Latin America and in the countries of the Himalayas. Amaranth leaves are used across Asia. The green-leaved varieties are popular in India and other places, the Chinese prefer their amaranth red-leaved and amaranth grain once was a staple in the diets of pre-Columbian Aztecs. I just grow them because they are beautiful. Red Amaranth grows beautiful red edible leaves used fresh or cooked. This is a favourite vegetable in Chinese and Vietnamese stir-fries and the red leaves will colour the dish red. Unlike many other greens, such as mustard and spinach, amaranth loves the heat and needs to be grown in sun. It needs at least 6 hours of sunshine daily. Younger leaves have a milder flavour and are good to use in salads. Mature leaves have a flavour similar to spinach. Use amaranth as a substitute for spinach in recipes. Tasty seeds can be eaten raw, sprouted, toasted, roasted, or ground into flour for baking. Ad ID: Delivery Service Consumer Credit
