Amaranth is a pseudo-grain that can be grown as sprouts or microgreens, ground into flour, toasted, made into porridge, and many other uses. This variety is also be known as Red Ocean Amaranth. Discover the health benefits in your diet today! Available in resealable packaging. They are delightful in soups, salads, and anywhere in between! Wholesale seeds and bulk are available. ~1,000 seeds per oz.
Prepare a level growing surface of soil. Start with hydrated soil that is not soaked. Amaranth is easily susceptible to root rot and damping off. Sprinkle the Amaranth seeds densely across the surface. An old spice shaker can be useful in distributing the seeds properly. Water them with a mister or spray bottle. Stack a black tray without holes on top to block out light during the germination period. Once germinated, turn the tray over to create a blackout dome for an additional 1-2 days to help the stems elongate. Unlike other seed types, Amaranth does not grow well with additional weight. Each day, mist the seeds to keep them wet until germination has occurred, then bottom water.
After the blackout period, move your seedlings to the sun or under a grow light. Water the tray regularly but allow the soil time to dry between waterings. The exact time between waterings will differ based on the room temperature and watering amount. Generally, if growing seedlings in the sun with a shallow tray, you will have to water them much more frequently than growing them under a grow light in a deep tray. Try to be consistent with the amount of water you add each time; this will help you know how much to water in the future. They only need 6-8 days to grow once moved to the light, 10 days total.

Tips From Our Gardeners
"This red amaranth is delightful to grow for its nutrition but also strikingly bold color. It is easy to grow, although it is best grown by those with previous experience in growing microgreens!"
