For the first time I have sown a row of Amaranthus as a crop, my problem is that I am not sure if I should be growing it as a leaf vegetable or a cereal. I got the seed from Jonny’s Mother who in turn got the seed from a friend in Mexico, the seed was only sown today so I have time to find out more. I also got in two rows of Helichrysum in ( I am showing my age, it has a new name, and I am not sure what it is), they are all going to be red flowered this autumn.
Great Dixter Vegetable Garden 
yea!!! amaranthus is awesome
I use amaranth as a salad green. I wouldn’t know what to do with the grain.
I am going to try and have it made into flour.
