First of all, judging from the nutrient elements contained in red amaranth and green amaranth, red amaranth contains more red pigment, and flavonoids in red amaranth are much more than those in green amaranth; In addition, the content of vitamin E in red amaranth is almost four times as high as that in green amaranth, so the nutritional content in red amaranth is far more than that in green amaranth. In addition, almost all of these nutrients contained in amaranth contain antioxidant function, so eating more amaranth can eliminate free radicals contained in the human body, thus achieving the purpose of delaying our skin aging.
Secondly, judging from the edible efficacy of red amaranth and green amaranth, the efficacy of red amaranth is also better than that of green amaranth. China Since ancient times, people have used amaranth to tonify qi and blood. This is not because amaranth is red, but because amaranth does contain nutrients that help the human body replenish blood gas. Moreover, in ancient times, red amaranth was a folk medicine used to prevent symptoms such as insufficient blood gas's disease and anemia, while green amaranth had no such effect, so eating red amaranth was actually more beneficial to the body, which was one of the reasons why the sales of red amaranth was higher than that of green amaranth.
However, although the nutritional value of red amaranth is much higher than that of green amaranth, it does not mean that everyone should eat red amaranth. For example, people who don't lack the nutrients contained in amaranth don't need to struggle to eat red amaranth or green amaranth. Moreover, amaranth contains a lot of water and is only suitable for soup or cooking. Green amaranth is more suitable if fried, and the taste of green amaranth is better than red amaranth.
