A true garden showstopper, Peacock Amaranthus is an ancient leafy green from the tropical regions of Asia and Africa, cherished for both its beauty and nutrition. Its striking leaves, splashed with shades of green, red, and purple, make it as ornamental as it is edible.

Beyond its visual charm, Peacock Amaranthus offers tender, mildly earthy leaves with a flavor reminiscent of spinach, yet more delicate and naturally suited to Indian cooking. It can be enjoyed in traditional stir-fries, dals, poriyals, curries, or simply sautéed for a wholesome side dish.
