Also known as Red Leaf Yin Choy, sometimes as chinese spinach – although it likely originated in South America. Young leaves go in salad, mature leaves go in stir-fry, seeds are made into a pop-corn.

You can use them as you would barley. If you have enough for pop-corn, then follow any recipe using dried corn kernels.

While I love the idea of Amaranth, I’ve had to weed out way too many amaranth seedlings.
