Midnight Red, Amaranth

Midnight Red Amaranth is prized for its bright red to burgundy red leaves adding interest to salads or cooked. Great as a colorful addition to salads, or cooked. 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 into 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 a 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.
