	Amaranth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Amaranth grain is a crop of moderate importance in the Himalaya.
		Amaranth was used in several Aztec ceremonies, where images of their gods (notably Huitzilopochtli) were made with amaranth mixed with honey.
		Amaranth greens, also called Chinese spinach, hinn choy or yin tsoi (Simplified Chinese: 苋菜; Hanyu Pinyin: xiàncài), callaloo, tampala, or quelite, are a common leaf vegetable throughout the tropics and in many warm temperate regions.

	Amaranth
		Grain amaranths are related to redroot pigweed, but are different species with different characteristics and have not become weeds in fields where they have been grown.
		Grain amaranth plants are about five to seven feet tall when mature, and are dicots (broadleaf) plants with thick, tough stems similar to sunflower.
		Grain amaranths grow slowly during the first several weeks after planting, so three or four cultivations may be needed during this period to control weeds.

	Amaranth Grain Production Guide 1987 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Amaranth grown for grain is particularly suited to semi-arid farming areas which have adequate soil moisture at planting time, and dry conditions at harvest.
		Amaranth, which is classified as a "pseudo-cereal," is a broad-leaf plant unlike the true grains and corn, which are grasses.
		Amaranth grain should be dried to a moisture level of 10-12% for storage.

	Growing Grain Amaranth as a Specialty Crop
		The grain amaranths have large, colorful seed heads and can produce over 1000 pounds of grain per acre in Minnesota, though a portion of this grain yield may be lost in harvesting.
		Grain amaranth plants are about five to seven feet tall when mature, and are dicots (broad-leaf) plants with thick, tough stems similar to sunflower.
		Since grain amaranth seeds do not undergo dormancy, and since plant growth is not vigorous early in the season, it is unlikely that amaranth would be a weed problem in succeeding crops.

	Amaranth: Composition, properties and applications (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Amaranth was a major grain crop in the pre-conquest Aztec empire (Sauer, 1950b; Pal and Khoshoo, 1974; Early, 1977; Haughton, 1978); ancient Mexicans made idols of a dough from seeds of the crop they called huahtli, which has been identified as grain amaranth (Sauer, 1950b; Marx, 1977).
		Amaranth seeds are small and lenticular in shape, with each seed averaging 1.0-1.5 mm in diameter and 1,000 seeds weighing 0.6-1.2 g (Jain and Hauptli, 1980; Saunders and Becker, 1984).
		Amaranth leaves are combined with condiments to prepare soup in Nigeria (Oke, 1983; Okiei and Adamson, 1979); used in salad, boiled and mixed with a groundnut sauce in Mozambique (Oliveira and de Carvalho, 1975); or pureed into a sauce and served over (farinaceous) vegetables in West Africa (Martin and Telek, 1979).
