AMARANT GRENN: Manna
(Amaranthus cruentus, A. hypochondriacus)

Istwa rapòte konsomasyon grenn amarant depi nan sivilizasyon Aztek Meksiken yo. Amaranthus cruentus grandi fasil epi li pwodwi legim nitritif. Li pami legim ki pwodui plis fey nan rejyon twopikal yo. 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.

A 2m tall plant that produces a full, reddish-yellow inflorescence. Mature plants may need staking to support the weight of the seed heads. (A. hypochondriacus)
