500 Seeds White Leaf Amaranth Amaranthus mangostanus Leafy Green

White Leaf Amaranth is a leafy green amaranth grown for its tender, light-colored leaves and mild flavor. It is a warm-season annual that matures quickly, making it a productive choice for garden beds, raised planters, and container growing.

The leaves are used fresh in salads, lightly cooked in stir-fries, soups, and stews, or included in grain and vegetable dishes. Plants grow upright and can be harvested as baby greens or left to reach full size, with repeated cuttings encouraging continued new growth through the season.
