Amaranth greens

Amaranth greens are the leaves of Chinese Spinach.  Most varieties are mostly green with red coloration in the center which produces a reddish juice as they are cooked. Amaranth greens grow literally like weeds.  In addition to the greens being edible, the seed of some varieties are eaten as a grain and others are milled into amaranth flour.

How To Cook Amaranth Greens

The greens only need about 3-5 minutes of cooking.  A basic method is to add about 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan, add a few slices of fresh ginger and quickly saute, then add the leaves and cook until tender.
