Amaranth
Latin Name
Amaranthus spp.
Description
Grown by the Aztecs and by Southwest Indians for millennia, the small grain is rich in lysine and the young leaves are high in calcium and iron. Approx. 100 seeds/packet.
Culture
Plant in spring or with summer rains by broadcasting and raking in seeds, or plant 1/4 inch deep in basins or rows. Thin the edible seedlings to 10-15 inches apart.
Seed Saving
As wind or insect-pollinated annuals, amaranth species will readily cross. To prevent this, put paper or cloth bags over flower heads. When ripe, cut off dried heads and lightly beat in a bag to remove seed. Screen or winnow off chaff.
