Here in the hot desert of Utah Wild amaranth that the ducks, chickens and rabbits love grows on its own with no watering. It produces lots of green seed flowers and great leaves. Anyone ever eat the wild Amaranth? UVPCGG would like to try all varieties and wondered if there was a good source for seeds.

Amaranth grows so easily, self seeding, over at Beelarong Community Farm. I hang my head, it is under-utilised. Good to read this blog post to encourage me to do more with it – and spread the word at the farm. Thank you.

Good morning Morag, I harvested some amaranth seeds from the Northy Street City Farm, when I did your "introduction to Permaculture" earlier this year. I have only recently planted them out and the seedlings are doing well. I can't wait to try cooking with amaranth, thanks for all the great info. Have a wonderful day.

Thanks for this, my introduction to this seed. I'll shop for them soon and start experimenting. Always looking for healthful alternatives to ubiquitous grains.
