Amaranth
3,78 $
Amaranth is a jack of all trades of the plant world. When the plant is still young, the leaves can be eaten just like spinach. The seeds can be used like cereals, raw, roasted, sprouted, or even to make flour. Amaranth is rich in vitamins A, B, and C, and in calcium, iron, and magnesium. But we especially like how its tall stance and bright red color decorate our garden.
