The young leaves have a mild, sweet and slightly tangy flavour often compared to spinach, making them both attractive and versatile in the kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarvested as microgreens from 10–25 days or as baby leaf greens in approximately 3–4 weeks, Garnet Red Amaranth provides a fast and rewarding crop.
