Golden Giant Amaranth

Amaranthus cruentus

Gorgeous six foot towering stalks of amaranth that produce hefty yields of cream colored delicious grain-like seeds. Young plants also produce tender tasty leaves, akin to its relative goosefoot. To harvest grains, clip the mature heads and hang to dry. On a large cloth trample the heads to release seeds. Winnow and store in airtight jars. You can pop the amaranth grains in a hot pan, then mix in a bowl with honey for a traditional Mexican sweet and nutrient dense snack called alegría. A breathtaking staple crop for the homestead!
