Compared with green amaranth, red amaranth is more nutritious. Although both red amaranth and green amaranth are very nutritious green vegetables, and the nutrients contained in the two amaranths are similar, the amount of nutrients contained in red amaranth is far more than that in green amaranth.

First of all, judging from the nutrient elements contained in red amaranth and green amaranth, red amaranth contains more red pigment, and the flavonoids in red amaranth are much more than those in green amaranth. In addition, the vitamin E contained in red amaranth can almost reach about four times that of green amaranth, so the content of nutrients 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 the free radicals contained in the human body, thus achieving the purpose of delaying our skin aging.

Secondly, from the edible efficacy of red amaranth and green amaranth, the efficacy of red amaranth is also better than that of green amaranth. Since ancient China, people have used red amaranth to replenish qi and blood. This is not because red amaranth is red, but because red amaranth does contain nutrients to help the human body replenish blood gas. Moreover, red amaranth was a folk medicine used to prevent symptoms such as insufficient blood gas and anemia in ancient times, but green amaranth does not have such efficacy, so eating red amaranth is actually more beneficial to the body, which is one of the reasons why the sales of red amaranth is 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 are not short of nutrients contained in amaranth do not need to struggle to eat red amaranth or green amaranth. Moreover, red 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.
