This amaranth is very popular in Taiwan and Japan. Plants are relatively smaller and grow relatively slower than other varieties. Seeds can be sown with the broadcast method and plants can be grown densely but needed to thin periodically during the growth. This variety grows very pale green leaves in round shape and stems which are very tender and well textured for eating quality, excellent for stir-fry and soup.
