The Nepalese Grain Amaranth is a traditional heirloom variety cultivated for centuries in the Himalayan region.

Known for its resilience and high nutritional value, this grain amaranth produces elegant plants with vibrant green foliage and striking flower heads loaded with tiny seeds.

Both the leaves and seeds are edible, making it a versatile and valuable crop.

 

Why Grow Nepalese Grain Amaranth?

This heirloom is celebrated for its nutritional powerhouse qualities. The seeds are rich in protein, amino acids, iron, and calcium, making them a gluten-free supergrain ideal for porridges, flatbreads, and baking.

The tender young leaves are also edible, providing vitamins A and C, and are commonly used in stir-fries and soups. Hardy and drought-tolerant, it thrives in poor soils where other crops may fail.

 

Plant & Care

Plant in well-drained soil under full sun, spacing 30–45 cm apart. Amaranth is low-maintenance, requiring only occasional watering once established. Plants reach 1.5–2 meters tall and mature in 90–120 days.

 

Harvest & Culinary Uses

Harvest leaves when young and tender for use as leafy greens. Seeds are ready when flower heads dry and begin to shatter. Collect and winnow seeds for use as a grain substitute.

The seeds can be popped, ground into flour, or cooked as porridge, while the greens provide a steady supply of nutritious vegetables.

 

Grow Nepalese Grain Amaranth for a resilient, dual-purpose heirloom crop – nutritious leaves and protein-rich seeds from a single plant.
