MG519A - Microgreen Amaranth Seeds
Amaranth microgreens have a nutty, rich flavour and are 15% protein. They are rich in vitamins A, B, C, and E, calcium, iron, magnesium, niacin, phosphorus, potassium, and amino acids. They take about 20 days from planting to harvest, but are worth the wait because the tiny sprouts are brightly green and pink colour (when grown under lights). So they make a brilliant eye-catching garnish or topping to just about any dish.
Just sprinkle the tiny seeds onto the surface of pre-moistened, sterilized seed starting soil, and wet everything down with a mist sprayer. As the seedlings grow, raise the lights so they remain this distance from the tops of the plants. Use 1.4g of Amaranth seed for each 10x20" seed flat.

How To Grow
Learn how to grow microgreens from seed, and you’ll have an unlimited supply of fresh, nutritious, and tender salad greens. Microgreens can be pulled from the soil and rinsed until all the soil particles have washed away. They can be enjoyed whole, roots and all. Or simply trim them with scissors and dispose of the used soil in your compost. Microgreens are intended to be harvested when the first leaf pair (the cotyledon, or seed leaf) opens fully and turns green. This is the point at which your microgreens will be richest in nutrients. However, you can also let the seedlings continue to grow and harvest them as needed.
