Amaranth Greens: Mesoamerican Spinach

I was lucky to find amaranth greens at the local farmers market. They are similar to spinach, but have a lighter taste.Amaranth greens, are a great source of vitamins A, B6, C, riboflavin, folate, calcium, iron and magnesium. 1 cup of cooked amaranth leaves contain just 28 calories and 0.2 grams of fat. About 3 cups cook down into about 1 cup.
