When should I harvest amaranth seeds? And what do I do with them if I want to use them? Anyone?

Hi Amanda, we use it like we cook our green with a litte oil onions mustard and tomatoes. You can also add some vegetable masala (you get them in the indian or asian grocery) and then add salt to taste. Its a healthy veg.

You can also use the seeds in salads, soups etc. Careful, they can pop a bit.
