A popular vegetable throughout the Caribbean. The colourful red-veined leaves are highly nutritious and can be cooked similarly to spinach. The young leaves are great in salads, and the large leaves are a great substitute for spinach. Amaranth is hardy and copes much better in warmer climates than other leafy greens.
Contains average 500 seeds.
