Red amaranth is a relatively common vegetable in southern China. As a northerner who came to the south, the new understanding of vegetables is only the vegetables you can’t think of, and there are no greens you can’t see. The first time I saw it I thought, how to cook it ? Just like other green vegetables, its most classic way is to fry it with minced garlic.
It has to be said that the iron content of red amaranth is 2 times that of spinach, which makes us have to admire it with admiration. It is also rich in calcium and vitamin C. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, it can remove dampness and heat from the body and facilitate urination.
Stir-fried green vegetables can also dye minced garlic red, but don’t worry, this is its true color. Don’t know which greens to fry? Try red amaranth which is a rare green vegetable.
