What is Amaranth?
Amaranth microgreens are the young shoots of the amaranth plant, praised for their high nutritional value and vibrant red colour. Despite their small size, they pack a nutritional punch, offering concentrated doses of protein, antioxidants, and essential vitamins, making them a key player in maintaining wellness and optimal nutrition.
Amaranth is one of the 16 potent microgreens featured in our products. Each serving, just 1.5g, provides a highly concentrated source of nutrients, making it an easy and convenient way to meet your daily nutritional needs. Our microgreens also support good gut health with gut-friendly bacteria and fibre while helping to bolster immunity, improve energy levels, and reduce oxidative stress and inflammation.
How are Amaranth Microgreens Grown?
Amaranth microgreens are grown in shallow trays with a light covering of compost. With regular watering and ample sunlight, they sprout within 7-10 days and are ready for harvest.
