The value of a sentient life is not measured in its utility to others, but in its immense, irreplaceable value to the being whose life it is.
Wow, good info. I always mix amaranth with my quinoa.
Very interesting!
I have never tried and have no idea what it looks like but I look forward to giving it a go!
Very nice! I knew about the leaves, but had no idea about the grain. I will seek it out. Thanks.
It's a bit like a cross between Bulgar Wheat and cous cous but a little firmer. It's great as a filler in curries and casseroles.
There are a few recipes too:

Amaranth is also easy to grow in the UK and very pretty in the garden.
once in a while you can get shown the light
in the strangest of places if you look at it right
so when do we plant it?! and does it need a sunny or shaded spot?
You plant it in the spring, preferably start seeds off in pots or modules indoors with gentle heat, then plant out when danger of frost is past in a sunny place. There are lots of varieties available, from the shorter garden flower known as 'Love Lies Bleeding', to tall varieties. They're very impressive-looking!
