Product Description Amaranth microgreens (sometimes called red garnet) stand out for their striking red-purple stems and petite leaves—an instant show-stopper on any plate. Harvested at the optimal stage, they provide subtle flavor and bold color in one.
Taste and Aroma These microgreens offer a mild, slightly nutty taste with a gentle sweetness. They complement stronger flavors without overpowering your dishes, serving as a beautiful accent.
Health Benefits Amaranth is revered for its high iron, calcium, and vitamin K content, all crucial for blood and bone health. It also supplies plant-based protein with a favorable amino acid profile. The red hue indicates polyphenols (such as betacyanins) that function as antioxidants to combat free radicals.
Culinary Uses
Ideal as a striking garnish—especially pretty in salads or fruit bowls.
Suited to lighter-flavored dishes (fish, tofu, cheese spreads) for color contrast and gentle flavor.
Blend into smoothies for an antioxidant boost without heavily altering the taste.
A great option for upscale plating in gourmet appetizers or creative entrées.
