Origin Amaranth Microgreens

Amaranth Microgreens — A Stunning Superfood Grown in Oshawa

Few microgreens are as visually striking as amaranth — deep crimson stems, vivid magenta-to-green leaves, and a mild, earthy sweetness that makes them as beautiful on the plate as they are nourishing for the body. Grown in our Oshawa indoor farm and delivered fresh every weekend, our amaranth microgreens are a true farm-to-table experience from right here in Durham Region.

Ancient Nutrition in a Modern Form

Amaranth has been celebrated as a nutritional powerhouse for thousands of years — and its microgreen form concentrates that legacy into every tiny leaf. Amaranth microgreens are among the richest plant sources of iron, calcium, and protein, alongside high levels of Vitamins A, C, and K and betacyanin — the powerful antioxidant pigment responsible for their distinctive deep red colour. For plant-based eaters, amaranth microgreens offer an exceptionally bioavailable source of non-heme iron and a complete amino acid profile.

Who Are These For?

• Plant-based & vegan eaters: One of the few complete-protein microgreens with high iron and calcium
• New parents & postpartum recovery: Iron and folate support energy and recovery after birth
• Gym & fitness communities: Protein and antioxidants support muscle repair and cellular health
• Yoga & pilates enthusiasts: Anti-inflammatory betacyanins support joint health and recovery
• Chefs & food photographers: The most visually dramatic microgreen we grow — instant colour impact on any plate

How to Use Them

Use as a vivid garnish on soups, grain bowls, and plated dishes for instant colour drama. Blend into smoothies for an antioxidant boost, layer on avocado toast, fold into microgreens pesto, or toss lightly into salads. Their mild, slightly earthy flavour makes them surprisingly versatile across both sweet and savoury applications.
