There are many types of amaranth, here is a list of all the types of amaranth

Agarwood is a delicious wild vegetable. There are many varieties of agarwood, including red, white, and horse tooth-shaped. How should we choose among so many varieties of agarwood?

1. Wild amaranth

People with weak spleen should not eat too much: The leaves of wild amaranth are oval in shape, and the green leaves are somewhat similar to those of white amaranth. The difference between the two lies in the root: the root of white amaranth is white, while the root of wild amaranth is slightly red, and strings of amaranth seeds as long as a little finger can be found between the leaves.

2. Horsetooth

The top buds are the best to eat: The stems of the horsetooth thorn are flat, the stems and leaves are thick and juicy, and the leaves are mostly opposite. It is distributed throughout the country, and it is edible in all seasons in the Pearl River Delta, with summer and autumn being the best. Its leaves are small and flat, in the shape of horse teeth, and also resemble melon seeds, so it is also called melon seed vegetable.

3. Red amaranth

Choose small and thin leaves: the center of the leaves is purple-red, the edges are green, and the soup will turn purple-red after cooking. It is best to choose tender red amaranth. Tender red amaranth has small leaves, thin leaves, no spots, and few and short roots.

4. White Amaranthus

The taste is more tender than red agarwood: The appearance of this agarwood is quite similar to wild agarwood, but it is much smaller than wild agarwood. The leaves are small and round, the leaf color is white-green, and the entire root is white-green, so it is also called white round-leaf agarwood.
