What To Do With Amaranth And Plants

Amaranth (Amaranthus retroflexus and other species)

Also known as Pigweed and has many other names

Hard to mix this one up with anything.  This plant features spines that are quite capable of piercing leather, be careful when harvesting.  The second word of warning it can get huge, like completely out of control, so if you cultivate it, you need to keep that in mind.  The little seeds will spread like wildfire and I speak from personal experance on this, one plant will grow a field full.
