They’ve sprouted nicely!
This humble plant is considered a weed, called rough pigweed, by some. The fact is it was known as The Sacred Food of the Aztecs in rural Mexico.* Amaranth is supposed to be higher in Iron than any known vegetable except maybe Parsley.* It has a comparable amount of vitamin A, is full of more protein and has a higher dose of vitamin C than the cultivated beet.*
I bought all four varieties that were in stock and planted them right away! They've only just sprouted, but I'm excited!! The nutritious possibilities!!!
*Information was gleaned from the book, "Secrets of Companion Planting for Successful Gardening" or what is reprinted as "Carrots Love Tomatoes" by Louise Riotte.
First time growing amaranth, and it was the easy and productive. Leaves are tasty raw or cooked, and stalks are like celery (main stalk can be peeled if too tough for you). Bugs left it alone (!!!) and it withstands central FL heat (100 degrees). LOVE IT!!! Highly recommended.
Harvested lots of young leaves at first, then let it grow. Gets nice and tall and gorgeous looking with no extra water. Beautiful versatile plant.
Did incredigly well in our punishing heat and drought here in inland SoCal. The seed actually seemed to have a mix of 20% taller, burgundy-colored amaranth and 80% slightly shorter plant that was mostly green with red streaking. Both germinated exceptionally quickly and grew like gangbusters with a minimum amount of supplementary irrigation. Just harvested more leaves than I could hold, and left many more on the plant because we've never even amaranth greens before so I don't yet know if we'll like it or not. If we do, I will definitely grow this again!
