Golden Amaranth was gathered in 1978 in a door-yard garden near Rinconada, New Mexico by Native Seeds/SEARCH and I received seed from Miguel Santisteven when I was visiting him and his family in Taos a few years back. We wanted to see how it would adapt to Philly. It is gorgeous, and has spinach-like young greens as well as protein-packed golden seeds, which are great as porridge and incorporated into tortillas. It turns out his variety had some crossing with Hopi Red and/or Elephant Head amaranths giving the flowers maroon tips. Miguel says: "I like promiscuity in plants, I believe that gives Nature a chance to express herself as she wants." Rowen White of the Indigenous Seed Keepers Network adds that "Landraces that are full of different expressions is where our resilience is at". Grow this variable beauty in your garden and allow it to adapt to your soil and climate. In addition to great culinary uses, amaranth is a great distraction for cucumber beetles - they prefer it. I plant it throughout my squash and cucumber patches, and in turn, it also makes a beautiful backdrop to the seed garden.

Days to maturity: 100-110

Seeds per pack: 400

Germination rate: 93% on 05/16/2025

Planting / harvesting notes

Amaranth is an extremely self-sufficient crop. Expect germination between 10-20 days, and fast growth after that. At this point on our farm, amaranth has seeded itself enough that we harvest many young, tender plants whole at 12" as a way of thinning, but the plants we allow to mature are given about 2' space in each direction. Mature plants have deep pink taproots that allow them to go long periods of time without watering, and shoot up thick, bushy branches.

Seed keeping notes

Amaranth is wind pollinated. Isolate by a minimum of 500 feet or cover the flowers with corn tassel bags to prevent unwanted cross pollination with other amaranths. Seeds are ready when they start dropping from the seed head, which matures after the flower dies back. You can cut the whole seed head and hang it to dry and mature further in a dry, ventilated place, or you can shake it while still on the plant every day or two, as the seeds ripen at different times starting from the bottom to the tip. Either way, shake the plant in a bucket to release the seeds. Use a strainer to sift out the larger chaff. Use your breath, wind, or fans to winnow off lighter weight chaff.

Absolutely Amazing!! Truly the perfect pillow!
Size: Queen / Standard, Color: White
I absolutely love these pillows. They couldn't be more perfect! I have spent years buying and throwing out pillow after pillow. I struggle with a lot of neck and upper back pain and I struggled even more trying to find the right pillow on top of spending several hundred dollars on pillows that just got tossed. If you want a great night of sleep and you want to wake up feeling refreshed and not struggling with fatigue and every day neck or back pain you absolutely MUST give these pillows a try!!! They are super easy to wash, made with great quality and have not once bothered my many allergies like most pillows do. I have not noticed any of the chemical odors moat pillows give off, easy to adjust does great with just occasional fluffing. So far has stayed fluffy for me although I did put it in the dryer a time or two as the instructions stated to help with extra fluff and also because I couldn't wait for them to air fluff when they first arrived, an Air B&B we stayed at had these and I ordered them before we even headed back home I loved them so much I had to order my own and was too impatient to wait!

Comfortable Support
Size: King, Color: White
These bed pillows provide good comfort and support for sleeping, with a nice balance of softness and structure. They hold their shape fairly well and work for both back and side sleeping positions. The overall feel is comfortable and helps improve sleep quality. Overall, they are reliable everyday pillows that offer good comfort and support.

Very comfortable. On the soft side.
Size: Queen / Standard, Color: White
Soft, but not too soft. I would actually give 4.5 stars. The pillow is a bit too long and bulky, wish it had a bit more support, but overall, great purchase considering the price. Hopefully it doesn't degrade after washing.

Excellent pillows that are worth the cost
Size: Queen / Standard, Color: White
These are wonderful. Completely relieved my back pain the first night I slept on them -– I put one underneath my back as I slept, and a weeklong terrible pain vanished overnight. Felt like sleeping on a cloud. As others have noted, they are neither too soft nor too firm…they’re really just right, and I think would make great guest room pillows since everyone would like them. These were definitely worth the money.

Great , fluffy pillows
Size: Queen / Standard, Color: White
They came compressed into a small roll so I was wondering how they would do. BUT they fluffed up to incredible size and comfy feel. I am impressed so far!
