Prep 2/3 cup of seeds by running cool water through them for a minute or so.

Soak the seeds in cool water for 30 minutes.

Drain off soak water. Do not ever soak again.

Rinse very thoroughly.

Drain thoroughly.

Keep your Sprouter in a relatively low light location.

Rinse and Drain thoroughly - with cool water every 8-12 hours.

Harvest when your seeds have tiny Roots, and eat or Refrigerate your crop.


Seed Prep Measure out 2/3 Cup of seed* Rinse your seeds to remove dust or plant debris.

Soak Transfer your seeds - if necessary - into your Sprouter, or a bowl. Add 2-3 times as much cool (60-70 degree) water. Mix seeds up to assure even water contact for all. Allow seeds to Soak for 20-30 minutes. You don't really even need to Soak Amaranth, but it speeds it up a little to do so. It will appear to be water repellant, but it will actually take in water.






We stop - usually sooner - but definitely no later then here. We like our sprouts small. Typically, we sprout for just 2-3 Rinse and Drain cycles. At that point most of the seeds will have sprouted tiny (barely visible) roots. That's the way we like these sprouts.


Note: Amaranth can be sprouted quite a bit longer but it's texture changes profoundly, going from a soft crunchy sprout to a very soft sprout. If you sprout it long you'll have to use it soon as it won't keep well. Experiment! Have Fun! It's All Good - if occasionally inedible @;-D



Refrigerate Transfer your sprout crop to a plastic bag or the sealed container of your choice and put them in your refrigerator. We offer Produce Storage Bags that will extend shelf life substantially. Note: Amaranth - when sprouted very short - can make it in refrigeration for up to 2 weeks. When sprouted longer expect less. If you can use 'em fresher we think you'll like them better.

*Seed to Use


These seeds will yield approximately 1.5:1 (you get 1.5 pounds for every pound of dry seed), so in theory you can start with up to 2/3 as much dry seed, as your Sprouter has capacity. We generally advise maxing out at 1/2 capacity, until you get used to growing a particular crop.

Dry Amaranth awaits Soaking.

30 minutes later... Soaked, Rinsed and Drained thoroughly.


12 hours later... another Rinse/Drain cycle.Remember to be especially Thorough in your Draining, if you intend on following our advice - by harvesting in 12 hours.

12 hours later... We would be done, and our Amaranth sprouts consumed or stored, but you keep going if you must. If you must - it's time for anotherRinse/Drain cycle.

12 hours later... another Rinse/Drain cycle. You do what you have to - you are already past our advice....

12 hours later... another Rinse/Drain cycle. Still going?

They are way too sprouted, but that's just our opinion. What do we know? If you do go this far, you will likely see some Root Hairs - which is fine. Remember to taste your seeds/sprouts at every opportunity, to determine at what stage you like them best.

Amaranth is an ancient pseudograin which has been used for millennia for its leaf and its seed. In the sprout world we generally use it as a seed, though it can be grown into Micro-Greens as well. We don't offer it as such because we find its flavor unpleasant. It is a very tasty sprout with a great texture - it sorta pops like popcorn when you bite down on it. It's a very tiny seed, which produces red-tinged sprouts whether you Soak it or not. You can toss some Amaranth Sprouts into or onto just about anything you eat. Their size is a great visual addition to any dish. Several studies have shown that Amaranth has a positive effect on a variety of ailments; hypertension, heart disease and cholesterol to name a few.

As of 2019 we are only selling straight Amaranth when we have an exceptional lot, so if it is in-stock you will know it is a good sprouter.

Make sure to use a Fine Mesh Screen, if using a Jar to sprout - or rhe Small Seed Insert if using Easy Sprout. If a few seeds escape don’t worry. The vast majority will not escape.



You may soak your Amaranth if you like. I do so every so often. Usually I soak for 30-60 minutes when I do.

Seed Storage

Amaranth is best stored in a cool location - we keep ours in a freezer. If you plan on storing these for more than 6 months you should definitely freeze them. Amaranth is occasionally pleasing to a particular pest - the Indian Meal Moth, which can appear out of nowhere when conditions are right (hot). These are organic seeds after all, so there is no other way to keep your seeds absolutely safe, except to freeze them. Consider yourself further educated =:-}
