To harvest amaranth grains, allow the plant to go to seed.
As the flowers begin to brown and die back, cut and bag them. After the seeds dry inside the bag, shake them to separate them from the flowers. Then, simply rinse away the seed chaff and enjoy the high-protein grain.
Remember to look online - YouTube for inspiration.
* Is this not the vegetable?
We usually call it green vegetable. The seeds are tiny and dark in color. Do deep research on this to find out how accessible the ingredients are in your area.
Just google "How to cook amaranth grains."
However, as this is a product of new finding, I will advise we take caution. Back then in the village, we noticed that consumption of amaranthus ( either amaranthus caudatus or amaranthus spinach) do cause stomach upset and running stool
Also, if consumption of the seeds should start in earnest, there will be serious scarcity of the seeds for planting.
