Hopi Red Dye Amaranth
Originally collected in Lower Moenkopi by Native Seeds/SEARCH and known locally as Komo, this bright red amaranth is commonly used by the Hopi natives to make pink colored piki or tortillas. Six-foot-tall plants are topped by long, highly branched inflorescences, colored intense red by their tiny brachts. Young, red-tinged leaves are often used in salads and tiny, black seeds can be sprouted into microgreens. Approximately 90-100 days to maturity. Each packet contains a minimum of 200 seeds.
