About -

Vitalize your garden with Richgrow Seeds Amaranthus Open Pollinated Seeds, a non-GMO, heirloom variety (Amaranthus spp.), ideal for home gardeners and farmers seeking vibrant, nutritious harvests at an unbeatable price! Known as Amaranth, Chaulai, or Rajgira, this versatile plant produces lush, colorful foliage in shades of green, red, or purple and striking, feathery flower heads, with tender leaves and seeds ready to harvest in 40–60 days for greens and 90–120 days for grains. The leaves offer a mild, spinach-like flavor, perfect for salads, stir-fries, or sabzis, while the nutrient-dense seeds are used in porridges, flour, or popped snacks. Packed with protein, vitamins A, C, K, iron, and calcium, amaranthus supports heart health, immunity, and bone health, making it a superfood staple. The tall, sturdy plants, growing 1–2 meters tall, are resistant to pests like leafhoppers and diseases such as leaf spot, thriving in warm climates, with optimal sowing in spring to early summer (March–June) across Pan-India, particularly in Maharashtra, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh, as aligned with prior sowing discussions (April 10, 2025). Sow 2–3 seeds at a 0.5–1 cm depth in well-drained, fertile loamy soil (50% garden soil, 30% compost, 20% sand, pH 6.0–7.0) under full sun (6–8 hours daily), spacing 20–30 cm apart in rows 45–60 cm wide; achieve 85% germination within 7–14 days at 20–30°C. Keep soil moist with regular watering (1 liter per plant every 2–3 days), mulch to retain moisture, and fertilize with organic compost or nitrogen-rich fertilizer every 2–3 weeks; use neem oil for pests like aphids or caterpillars. Harvest young leaves when 10–15 cm long for greens and seeds when flower heads dry and seeds loosen, with excellent storage for dried seeds and refrigerated greens. Store unopened packets in a cool, dry place for up to 3 years. Available in Kitchen Garden Packet (KGP) (200–250 seeds), Standard Packet, Professional Pack (200–250 grams), or custom bulk orders, all in eco-friendly, resealable, moisture-proof, UV-protected packets with an 85% germination rate, designed for your sustainable vision at www.richgrowindustrialcorporation.com, reflecting your eco-friendly, customer-centric brand with nature-inspired packaging (green, brown, white).
