Amaranthus cruentus
The brightest red Amaranth we've seen, Kerala Red produces intensely colored leaves, stems, petioles, and flowers. Collected in 1991 by longtime USDA Amaranthus researcher David Brenner who reported that he found the variety being cultivated as a vegetable in the backyard of the Nilakanta family of Ames, Iowa. According to the Mr. and Mrs. Nilakanta, Kerala Red originated from a coastal area of Kerala, India where it was known locally as "Red Spinach." Plants range from 5 to 8 feet tall at maturity with large, highly branched tassels that produce copious amounts of small black seeds. 90-100 days to maturity. 200 seeds per packet.
