Thrips are a common pest, but you can use our prevention tricks to keep them at bay! Red Amaranth likes good air circulation, so make sure to give it breathing room by leaving the spots around it on your Gardyn capped off, and harvesting frequently.
Harvest young leaves for fresh eating or cook mature leaves like spinach. Leave a third of the plant for continued growth. Harvest grain once flowers turn brown.
Though native to Central and South America, Red Amaranth is most often seen in Central Asian cuisine and is sometimes called “Chinese Spinach”. Its name comes from the Greek for “unfading flower”.
Enjoy Red Amaranth leaves and stems raw or cooked, similarly to how you would eat spinach. The flowers add a lovely aesthetic to the Gardyn, and produce grain when allowed to dry on the plant.
