It is an energetic yearly plant and can be found in summer. Root of fully developed amaranth is a superb veggie. It's white colored and it is prepared with tomatoes or tamarind gravy. It provides a milky flavor and is also alkaline.

 

In Andhra Pradesh, this leaf is referred to as the Thotakura and customarily well prepared with dal which is popularly known as Thotakura pappu. In Maharashtra, it is known as the "Shravani Maath" that grows in the month of Shravan and will come in both white and red colors. Khada saga (in Oriya) is required to make 'Saga Bhaja', where the leaf is fried with chilies and onions. Hulee, playa or Majjigay hulee are a variety of curries which are prepared using these greens in Karnataka. In Tamil Nadu, it is known as and is also frequently eaten like a popular food, where greens are steamed, crushed, with mild flavoring of salt, red chillis and cumin. It is termed keerai masial.

They're an excellent way to obtain vitamins such as vitamin A, vitamin K, vitamin B6, vitamin C, riboflavin, folate, and dietary minerals which includes calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, copper, and manganese. Due to its beneficial nourishment, numerous farmers grow amaranth nowadays.

 

The leaves are diuretic and purgative, and so are utilized in poultices (fresh or as dried powder) to relieve inflammations, boils and infections, gonorrhoea, orchitis and haemorrhoids. The leaves are considered to have febrifugal attributes. Ash of Amaranthus viridis plants is full of soda and it is sometimes helpful to make soap.
