The amaranth is renowned as part of healthy diets for centuries because of its innumerable health benefits. The first records of growing it dates back nearly 8,000 years, and since then, it has become extremely popular as a superfood for being a very rich source of many essential vitamins. Both amaranth leaves and seeds are edible. I have prepared the stir fry of local red amaranth with veggies.
