Mayo Indian Amaranth (Amaranthus cruentus), originating from Sonora, Mexico, is a robust variety known for its sturdy stalks and vigorous growth, reaching heights of 7 to 8 feet in optimal conditions. Primarily cultivated for its grain, it is used to make pinole and atole, and its nutritious leaves can be harvested similarly to spinach. Featuring striking black seeds and vibrant maroon-red stalks, leaf veins, and large seed heads, this plant also serves as an attractive ornamental in the garden.
