Growing amaranth (chinese spinach) is possible all year round in the tropics. That's one of the reasons it is an essential and ubiquitous plant in my permaculture garden. There is 400 seeds sold in this auction for only $3.50.
It's a very nutritious leaf and grain.
It makes yummy spinach.
Amaranth leaves make nice salad greens. They are not as slimy as the other tropical leafy greens that are supposed to serve as lettuce substitutes in hot climates.
Amaranth leaves are nutitionally similar to beets, Swiss chard and spinach, but are much superior. For example amaranth leaves contain three times more calcium and three times more niacin (vitamin B3) than spinach leaves. (Or twenty times more calcium and seven times more iron than lettuce.
Amaranth seeds have been used since ancient times in Central and Latin America and in the countries of the Himalayas. Amaranth leaves are used across Asia.
The green-leaved varieties are popular in India and other places, the Chinese prefer their amaranth red-leaved and amaranth grain once was a staple in the diets of pre-Columbian Aztecs.
payment will be accepted through Paypal or bank deposit.
As soon as I receive payment I will endevour to post seeds the same or next business day
Due to quarantine restrictions I cannot post seeds to Western Australia or Tasmania
