Golden Amaranth was gathered in 1978 in a door-yard garden near Rinconada, New Mexico by Native Seeds/SEARCH and I received seed from Miguel Santisteven when I was visiting him and his family in Taos a few years back. We wanted to see how it would adapt to Philly. It is gorgeous, and has spinach-like young greens as well as protein-packed golden seeds, which are great as porridge and incorporated into tortillas. It turns out his variety had some crossing with Hopi Red and/or Elephant Head amaranths giving the flowers maroon tips. Miguel says: "I like promiscuity in plants, I believe that gives Nature a chance to express herself as she wants." Rowen White of the Indigenous Seed Keepers Network adds that "Landraces that are full of different expressions is where our resilience is at". Grow this variable beauty in your garden and allow it to adapt to your soil and climate. In addition to great culinary uses, amaranth is a great distraction for cucumber beetles - they prefer it. I plant it throughout my squash and cucumber patches, and in turn, it also makes a beautiful backdrop to the seed garden.

Days to maturity: 100-110

Seeds per pack: 400

Germination rate: 93% on 05/16/2025

Planting / harvesting notes

Amaranth is an extremely self-sufficient crop. Expect germination between 10-20 days, and fast growth after that. At this point on our farm, amaranth has seeded itself enough that we harvest many young, tender plants whole at 12" as a way of thinning, but the plants we allow to mature are given about 2' space in each direction. Mature plants have deep pink taproots that allow them to go long periods of time without watering, and shoot up thick, bushy branches.

Seed keeping notes

Amaranth is wind pollinated. Isolate by a minimum of 500 feet or cover the flowers with corn tassel bags to prevent unwanted cross pollination with other amaranths. Seeds are ready when they start dropping from the seed head, which matures after the flower dies back. You can cut the whole seed head and hang it to dry and mature further in a dry, ventilated place, or you can shake it while still on the plant every day or two, as the seeds ripen at different times starting from the bottom to the tip. Either way, shake the plant in a bucket to release the seeds. Use a strainer to sift out the larger chaff. Use your breath, wind, or fans to winnow off lighter weight chaff.

Well Made and Chic
Color: Black
I never expected the craftsmanship of this bag to be so excellent! It's not cheap at all, but in my opinion, it can definitely compete with the genuine Boganoamo bag. The weaving is tight and complete. It feels heavy and the wine red color is bright and eye-catching! The packaging is also very exquisite, with a dust cover included. I am extremely satisfied with this purchase!

Stylish purse.
Color: Black, Color: Black
I like the woven texture of this bag. The pin closure also caught my eye with its unique design. It can be worn for casual events and the shoulder straps can be removed to be worn as a clutch for evening. The material is durable and the black color seems bold and stylish. It is roomy inside and can hold my phone, lipgloss and some other items. This bag has a high end look at a great price.

Black clutch purse
Color: Black, Color: Black
I love how this clutch looks! The basket style design is appealing. I like how the closure is made, it's unique. I like the color. This clutch purse is not necessarily roomy, but it's enough space to carry my essentials plus more. Also, this clutch looks like genuine leather, I like that; and it's reasonably priced.
