Golden Amaranth was gathered in 1978 in a door-yard garden near Rinconada, New Mexico by Native Seeds/SEARCH and I received seed from Miguel Santisteven when I was visiting him and his family in Taos a few years back. We wanted to see how it would adapt to Philly. It is gorgeous, and has spinach-like young greens as well as protein-packed golden seeds, which are great as porridge and incorporated into tortillas. It turns out his variety had some crossing with Hopi Red and/or Elephant Head amaranths giving the flowers maroon tips. Miguel says: "I like promiscuity in plants, I believe that gives Nature a chance to express herself as she wants." Rowen White of the Indigenous Seed Keepers Network adds that "Landraces that are full of different expressions is where our resilience is at". Grow this variable beauty in your garden and allow it to adapt to your soil and climate. In addition to great culinary uses, amaranth is a great distraction for cucumber beetles - they prefer it. I plant it throughout my squash and cucumber patches, and in turn, it also makes a beautiful backdrop to the seed garden.

Days to maturity: 100-110

Seeds per pack: 400

Germination rate: 93% on 05/16/2025

Planting / harvesting notes

Amaranth is an extremely self-sufficient crop. Expect germination between 10-20 days, and fast growth after that. At this point on our farm, amaranth has seeded itself enough that we harvest many young, tender plants whole at 12" as a way of thinning, but the plants we allow to mature are given about 2' space in each direction. Mature plants have deep pink taproots that allow them to go long periods of time without watering, and shoot up thick, bushy branches.

Seed keeping notes

Amaranth is wind pollinated. Isolate by a minimum of 500 feet or cover the flowers with corn tassel bags to prevent unwanted cross pollination with other amaranths. Seeds are ready when they start dropping from the seed head, which matures after the flower dies back. You can cut the whole seed head and hang it to dry and mature further in a dry, ventilated place, or you can shake it while still on the plant every day or two, as the seeds ripen at different times starting from the bottom to the tip. Either way, shake the plant in a bucket to release the seeds. Use a strainer to sift out the larger chaff. Use your breath, wind, or fans to winnow off lighter weight chaff.

Deep Hydration that Absorbs Quickly
Scent: Shea Butter, Size: 18 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
My girlfriend loves this Olay Body Lotion. It leaves her skin feeling incredibly soft and hydrated all day long. As someone who appreciates quality products, I've noticed how well it absorbs without being greasy. The shea butter scent is subtle and pleasant. It's a high-quality moisturizer that delivers on its promises. A great addition to her daily routine.

Best lotion ever
Scent: Fragrance-Free, Size: 18 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Best lotion ever. This lotion actually heals and moisturizes your skin so it doesn’t just wash off in the shower. I only have to use it once or twice a week. It dries so fast I don’t have to wait to dress. It’s not greasy at all. I recommend this lotion to everyone. Bonus that it’s unscented because I can use it with my scented body oils. I stopped buying the scented lotions that go with my shower washes and oils and just use this.

The lotion I have been looking for (aloe)
Scent: Aloe Vera, Size: 18 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The perfect lotion I have been searching for. It balances my sensitive skin of being both too dry and too oily, which in turn is helping my acne, and it’s a good size for a good price. Exactly what I need.
