This amaranth blend unites genetically diverse lines from Nepal, India, and Bolivia with traditional varieties from Oaxaca and Puebla, Mexico. Carefully curated as a first-generation mix, it maximizes genetic diversity and resilience.

Designed for grain production with a commercial focus, this blend contains puffing genetics, though grain yield remains the primary goal. The greens are edible when cooked to reduce oxalates; raw consumption is not recommended, but microgreens are safe and nutritious.

Amaranth is a complete protein grain, offering versatility for both culinary and agricultural applications.


Packets contain thousands of seeds.

Are seeds really free?

Our mission is to make diverse seeds available to everyone. Although the seeds are free, you will need to pay for shipping. In addition, we ask you to consider making a donation to cover program costs. This allows us to make seed free for those who need it.

When will I get my seeds?

Seeds will ship within a week of ordering. This program is run by dedicated and hardworking volunteers.  Going to Seed is not a seed company. You may receive packages that have less than the stated number of seeds, germination rates may not meet the federal standards, shipping may be slower than you prefer, or there may be any other number of unanticipated glitches. Please be patient with us as we improve the standards over time.

How are seeds packaged?

Seeds are packed in moisture proof, 100% compostable materials. We recommend saving this packet to fill and send back to the program.
