Frequently Asked Questions
What are garnet red amaranth microgreens?
Garnet red amaranthus microgreens — known as rajgira in India — are visually striking microgreens with deep ruby-red leaves harvested at 10–14 days. They have a mild earthy flavour and are rich in iron, calcium, and antioxidants. Popular with chefs for their dramatic colour as a garnish.
Are red amaranth microgreens high in iron?
Yes — red amaranth microgreens are a good source of plant-based iron and calcium. They are a popular choice for those looking to add iron-rich foods to a vegetarian or vegan diet.
What is red amaranth called in India?
Lal math in Marathi, and chaulai or lal saag across north India. The mature plant is a common leafy vegetable, and the seedling carries the same iron-rich profile with far more intense magenta colour.
What do red amaranth microgreens taste like?
Mild and slightly earthy, closer to beetroot greens than to anything sharp. They are grown mainly for colour, which is why restaurants use them for plating.
How do I use red amaranth microgreens at home?
Raw, where the colour is visible: over dal, white sabzis, salads, raita or hummus. Cooking turns the magenta a dull brown, so add them at the table.
How long do red amaranth microgreens stay fresh?
Five to seven days refrigerated in a ventilated container. The stems are fine, so keep them dry and handle them gently.
Do you deliver red amaranth microgreens in Pune?
