Green Amaranth - White Leaf seeds, Open pollinated, Heirloom, Non-GMO

Amaranth Seeds - White Leaf 

(Amaranthus mangostanus)

These White Leaf Amaranth Seeds produce an open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO variety of edible amaranth, also known as Chinese spinach. With a quick growth cycle of just 30-40 days, this annual plant is perfect for growing as microgreens. The round, tender, light green leaves and stems are packed with iron and calcium, offering more nutritional value than Western spinach.

This variety is adaptable to a variety of climates, tolerating hot, dry, and moist conditions. It thrives in warm temperatures (68-85°F), growing quickly and producing high yields in fertile, well-drained soil. For best results, sow seeds in spring or summer, after the last frost, in a warm, sunny location. You can sow by broadcasting the seeds and thin them during growth. Keep the soil moist but avoid using nitrogen fertilizers to prevent excess nitrates.

Harvest the leaves and stems when they are young for the best flavor and texture. Ideal for stir-fries, soups, and fresh salads, White Leaf Amaranth can be prepared just like spinach.
