First time growing Amaranth microgreens
Love the way it looks.
Think I prefer the basic salad mix taste though. Think this would be better for adding some color to another green.

Never thought of doing amaranth as microgreens. That's super pretty, if nothing else!
From what I'm seeing, it's quite nutritious / healthy.
Makes sense. I know the leaves are a good substitute for spinach, in addition to the seeds being a nutritious pseudograin, yet the idea of using it for microgreens never occurred to me. I'll have to consider this for myself!
You all here are inspiring me! I used to have a decent window herb garden until aphids shut it down a couple years ago, but I'd like to start it back up again soon...
Do it, and post updates to let us know how it goes :)

oh, it's edible? I grow it as a flower and it self seeds here.
