Amaranth Sprouting Seeds

Amaranth Sprouting Seeds

Bring amaranth’s earthy, gently nutty flavor and vibrant green growth to your kitchen. These seeds are offered in convenient sizes for home sprouting and edible-greens projects.

Sprouting Instructions

1. Place seeds in a clean, food-safe jar or sprouting tray and rinse thoroughly.
2. Soak briefly according to your preferred sprouting method, then drain completely.
3. Rinse and drain regularly, keeping the seeds moist but never standing in water.
4. Provide good airflow and use the sprouts or young greens when they reach your preferred size.

Use clean equipment throughout the process and follow safe food-handling practices. Refrigerate fresh sprouts promptly and use while fresh.

Growing Amaranth for Greens

For garden growing, sow seeds shallowly in warm, well-drained soil after the risk of frost has passed. Choose a sunny location, keep the soil evenly moist, and thin seedlings as needed to give young plants room to develop.

Kitchen Uses

Add fresh sprouts or young amaranth greens to salads, sandwiches, wraps, grain bowls, and soups. Their mild, earthy flavor also works well as a colorful garnish.

Harvest & Storage

• Harvest sprouts or young greens when they reach the size and texture you prefer.
• Rinse gently, drain well, and handle carefully to protect the tender growth.
• Store fresh sprouts or greens in the refrigerator in a clean container and use promptly.
