How to Pick

When selecting Amaranth, look for a vibrant, deep red or purple color, indicating freshness and flavor. Ensure the leaves are crisp and free from wilting or browning. 

Additionally, consider the size of the leaves, as smaller ones tend to be more tender and flavorful. If purchasing Amaranth for cooking, opt for organic or pesticide-free options to ensure the highest quality and taste.

How to Store

Store amaranth in an airtight container in a cool, dry place such as a pantry or cupboard. Keep it away from direct sunlight and moisture to maintain its quality and prevent spoilage. 

Avoid storing in the refrigerator as it can introduce moisture and affect the texture of the amaranth. Proper storage will ensure that your amaranth remains fresh and ready to use for an extended period.

Where it’s Sourced

Our Amaranth is lovingly cultivated in the fertile soils of the Darling Downs region in Queensland, Australia.
