Amaranthus hypochondriacus
A hardy summer annual grown for both its nutritious leaves and protein rich grain. Greens are rich in vitamins and minerals, with lower oxalic acid levels than spinach, and can be eaten raw or cooked. Seeds contain over 18 percent protein, higher than corn or wheat, and can be eaten popped. Processed amaranth products are available through Coles, Woolworths supermarkets, and selected health food stores. The cereal can be eaten alone with milk, fruit, and honey, or mixed with other grains.

Approximately 300 seeds per packet
