Wheat blight coming across the entire globe wiping out wheat, destroys the seed itself

[Guest guest]

The way things are going - we'll need all the alternatives we can find. This is one - it's also resistant to the wheat blight coming across the entire wheat growing land globally - it's wiping out wheat all over and destroys the seed itself on approximately 17 varieties. This plant is not a wheat, nor even a true grain - but it's got one of the highest nutritional values known to human-health, grows in a back yard, can be eaten as seed, seed-flour, leaf, dried leaf flour and as seedlings from tip to root raw, or cooked as spinach. In general, seeds are available globally - esp. as garden flowers in online auctions. NO Amaranth has been genetically modified, it's a tradition native food. There are some 60 species globally, some grown for the seed, some for leaf, some for both and mostly in the western world it's grown as a showy garden flower and hardly anyone knows you can eat it. It is highly probable amaranth will adapt to being grown in soil under lights indoors - for leaf or seedling production, and if necessary for full scale seed production. It bears similar growing requirements as certain other herbs of dubious distinction - and it's legal. Those with gluten allergies or other food issues can look at Amaranth as an alternative as it has very little known allergy effect - and is entirely gluten free. Outstanding results have been achieved using it in poor nations as an AIDS patient food. It is suitable for infants as a first food. It is suitable for nursing mothers.

AMARANTH Nutrition Facts [commercial product blurb/brochure PDF] Nutrition NotesAmaranth seeds contain unusually good quality protein for a plant source, similar to that of buckwheat and quinoa.

Amaranth Grain Production Guide 1987Grain amaranth is, first and foremost, a drought-tolerant crop. Amaranth is a C4 plant that has potential in areas traditionally used for growing sorghums and millets. It is a prospective dryland crop for farmers in semi-arid areas. In irrigated areas, amaranth is an alternative for farmers seeking to reduce irrigation costs. 2. Amaranth produces a nutritious grain which is very versatile as a food ingredient. Amaranth grain has a unique protein which is high in the amino acid lysine. None of the common grains contain an adequate amount of this amino acid to meet human dietary needs. In addition, some people with food allergies have used amaranth as a substitute for other grains. (Warning: We must express caution, as there are people who are allergic to amaranth.) Also, amaranth has been tested for use in cereals, breads, pancake mixes, pastas and snack foods in combination with wheat and corn. It has been noted that blends of amaranth and corn, or amaranth and whole wheat, provide a protein that is as good as that in milk. 3. Amaranth is a way to diversify your farming enterprise. It is interesting to note that most of the world's population is fed by only seven crops (rice, wheat, potatoes, corn, soybeans, the common bean and barley). What's more, it has been a common practice during the past 15 years for farmers to specialize in only a few crops. Amaranth, which is classified as a "pseudo-cereal," is a broad-leaf plant unlike the true grains and corn, which are grasses. Crops like amaranth provide farmers with the option to increase the diversity of crops grown. Increasing the diversity of crops reduces the risk of insect, disease and weed pests becoming serious problems. A diverse cropping enterprise also helps insulate a farmer from the price vagaries of a single commodity market.
