  • About

Also Chinese spinach, vegetable amaranth, Joseph’s coat, tampala; yin choy and variations (Chinese), callaloo and variations (Caribbean), quelite and quintonil (Mexican), bledo blanco (Latin American), chaulai and bhaji (Indian), pirum (or birum) namul (Korean)

In the United States, forms of amaranth are more familiar in flamboyant decorative plantings— where their brilliant multicolored leaves and magenta chenille tassels create dramatic displays—than they are in stewpots. Amaranth seeds show up in the natural food larder—puffed into breakfast cereal, baked in bread, or cooked as a grain.
