Konsantrasyon pwoteyin nan fey li yo wo anpil. Moun bay li gwo enpotans pou kapasite nitrisyonel li, epi li pa koute chè nan mache lokal yo.
This grain amaranth is known as smooth pigweed and is classified as Amaranthus hybridus. It has black seeds rather than white seeds. We caution against growing this where it is not already found as it can become weedy.
