Amaranth leaves are nutritionally similar to beets, Swiss chard and spinach, but are genetically closer to their wild ancestors and offer a far superior source of carotene, iron, calcium, protein, vitamin C and trace elements.
Storage
Fresh amaranth greens are highly perishable, but they will keep for a few days in your refrigerator drawer, wrapped in damp paper towels or in a plastic bag.
