Hi, I'm Mexican and amaranth is a very common grain here, however I am just starting to know the plant itself that grows everywhere and are sadly treated as weeds... I really like the color of this plant and that's how I became aware what they are and began educating myself... Thank you so much for this information it was very detailed and useful.

Amaranth and Malabar keep me in greens all summer when nothing else will grow. Good video. Thank you.

Thanks so much for this! I am growing it very densely but I had no idea each plant would get so big! Very informative so thanks again!

CG thankyou for posting this video, you inspire me to plant different veggies, I had no idea amaranth was such a super food! I'm planting some tomorrow!

[mariohernandez]

Thank you for the video. I have this plant growing for years in my garden but never thought twice about it. I always just removed it but not any more.

Best Amaranth video I’ve seen so far thank you!

[davidle]

Very concise. I love the visual of how you spread the seeds. I wasn't sure whether you were supposed to bury the seeds or not but you've answered that with the visuals

[vonzaqua]

Thank you so much. Just got my seeds today from Singapore. Will start planting them. Super food

I cook Amaranth: Sauté some onions, add some diced sweet pottatoes, clean amaranth leaves and some fresh shrimp. Add pinch of salt and cook under low fire. Bon apetit !

[prachibankar]

Just like leaves and seeds, Amaranth stems are also edible.. just lightly peel and cook with spices of your choice.. awesome fiber content!

[rosewood]

Your videos are so informative.  I was going to grow these just for me birds.  I didn't know I could benefit from the leaves also. I bought: Red, Love Lies Bleeding Amaranth.
Thank you.

I just discovered amaranth in my yard so I'm really excited to do something with it 😊

[saipadma]

I love to cook it with lentils. I still have few growing in pots. Thanks for sharing.

[debraarizona]

The information in your video was very helpful. I did not know what this plant was nor the benefits of eating it, now I know...Thank you, very interesting, and educational video!

[paintedpetals]

[deakemarschall]

What a super plant that is. I tried sowing it 2 years in a row but i think both years, the weather did not cooperate. I bought a packet of a variety called 'molten fire'. Very beautiful. I hope i can eat it, probably. :D I'm also hoping to sow quinoa and chia next year. See how they do.
