Amaranth is from the quinoa family and is considered a superfood. The best way to enjoy it is to grow it yourself, all summer long. Watch this video to see how.

This is a plant that is used a lot in Mauritian cooking and was effectively a weed that power people could collect to add to their food reason. Now it is a vegetable that the diaspora will happily pay good money to get hold of abroad. It is one of my favourite “weeds” in my UK garden, I just wish that we had a longer growing season for them.

Enjoyed your video and subscribed. I appreciate your sharing your thoughts and creative expertise in using this plant for healthy eating. Do homestead animals eat this plant. Is amaranth as nutritious for animals and will they like it? If you can put into a video, I would watch. Thank you for your video. Blessings of health, strength, safety, wisdom, peace, harmony and success to you and your family in the name of our Redeemer. ☝️🙏🙌

Hi..when do u know it is ready to harvest? My amaranthus have large leaves at the top but the lower leaves are small, yet to gorow..but tgey have started flowering at the top..should i take it out or wait for the lower leaves to grow? Should the flowering be allowed?or Does it mean it is time to harvest?
@EasyPeasyGardening
@EasyPeasyGardening 3 жыл бұрын
Flowering means that plant is almost at the end of life. If the plant is otherwise healthy, prune it and use the leaves. Depending on the weather more leaves may grow

That's a tough one. I do not like to spray anything on the leafy vegetables. If it's only one or two plants affected, remove them and cover the planter in fine net. I know it's not a great solution but pesticides are not good either especially on leafy vegetables.
