Great for getting children into growing their own food...Amaranth has an incredible colour, kind of a faded pink with purple leaves (very striking). A sweet taste with a slightly nutty earthiness. A good source of riboflavin, folate and manganese. Perfect to garnish a salad. Grow in a seedling tray on a warm well-lit windowsill. Germination should occur within 3-4 days and be ready to harvest in 10-16 days.
