How to grow amaranth microgreens
No soaking needed. Sow amaranth straight from the packet.
Sow 4–5 g per 10×10 tray. The seeds are tiny — spread slowly and evenly for an even tray.
Keep dark for 4–5 days. Amaranth is slow to start; keep it covered and warm.
Move to light. Bright indirect light for the deepest colour, at 22–32°C.
Harvest at 1.5–2.5 inches. Usually day 12–14 — cut just above the base.
Timings are starting estimates. Results vary with seed density, growing medium, temperature, light and watering. Read the full growing guide →

Questions growers ask
How many trays will one pack grow?
At 4–5 g per 10×10 tray, a 100 g pack sows about 20–25 trays and a 300 g pack about 60–75 trays.
Why is my amaranth not turning red?
The colour needs light. Once uncovered, give the tray bright indirect light and the red deepens over 1–2 days.
Can I grow amaranth in summer?
Yes — amaranth likes warmth (22–32°C) and is one of the best microgreens for Indian summers.
