Midnight Red Amaranth Seeds
Amaranth is the perfect choice for fresh greens when all other greens have bolted. Nutritious and stunningly beautiful, Midnight Red Amaranth is a wonderful addition to the vegetable garden. With its dark, matte leaves and heat resistance, it can also be incorporated in your ornamental landscape. This leafy “spinach” amaranth is popular in Asia, eaten raw, stir fried, or steamed. This is by far the most tender and sweetest amaranth for edible greens, making for vibrant and delicious salad. The young leaves are a perfect spinach substitute. This is the go-to “green” for midsummer when all others have bolted. Also delicious as microgreens.
