Paruppu Keerai Seeds - Naati/Desi - - Pack of 100 Seeds
Gardening
"Paruppu Keerai" refers to a dish made with lentils (paruppu) and amaranth greens (keerai), commonly prepared in South Indian cuisine. The combination of lentils and greens creates a wholesome, protein-packed, and nutrient-rich dish that is flavorful and easy to make.
Amaranth greens, known as keerai in Tamil, are rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as iron and calcium. The mild taste of these greens pairs beautifully with the earthy flavor of lentils.
Amaranth greens are loaded with iron, calcium, and vitamins A and C, making this dish particularly beneficial for bone health and boosting immunity.
The combination of lentils and greens provides a good amount of plant-based protein, which is essential for muscle repair and overall health.
The fiber in greens and lentils helps with digestion and maintaining a healthy gut.
Climate and Soil:
Amaranth thrives in warm climates and can tolerate both heat and humidity. It requires well-drained soil, rich in organic matter, with a pH between 6.5 and 7.5.
Sowing Seeds:
You can sow amaranth seeds directly in the soil, as they germinate quickly. Sow them about 1/4 inch deep and cover lightly with soil. Water gently.
Spacing and Sunlight:
Amaranth greens need plenty of sunlight, so plant them in a spot that gets 6-8 hours of direct sunlight.
Space the plants about 10-12 inches apart to give them room to grow.
Watering :
Water the plants regularly to keep the soil moist, especially during dry periods. Avoid over-watering, as amaranth can be prone to root rot.
Fertilizing :
Amaranth grows well in nutrient-rich soil. If needed, you can fertilize the plants with compost or an organic fertilizer every 2-3 weeks.
Harvesting :
The greens can be harvested as early as 4-6 weeks after planting. You can either cut the leaves when they are young and tender or wait for the plant to mature and harvest the whole plant.
No of seeds per pkt : 100
Germination Rate: 70%
