Purchasing Amaranth Notes

1, Appearance: Choose amaranth that is brightly colored and has no signs of wilting or browning on either the leaves or stems. Leaves and stems should be tight and not floppy.

2. Quality: Check the overall quality of the amaranth. It should have a firm texture and fragile leaves. Avoid buying amaranth that appears mucilaginous or has a strong odor.

3. Organic: Consider buying organically grown amaranth. This will ensure that it is healthier as it has not been treated with synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.

4. Source: If possible, find out where the amaranth is grown. Locally grown amaranth is usually fresher and more nutritious, compared to those that are shipped long distances.

5. Price: Compare prices from different sellers to get the best value for money option. However, remember that quality should be your primary concern, not just price.

6. Storage: consider your storage conditions. Amaranth has a short shelf life and is best consumed within a few days of purchase. Make sure you have proper storage conditions to extend its freshness.
