- Oleum Amaranthus (Amaranth) is a very interesting plant that will grow just about anywhere, under conditions that would kill any other food plant. It needs a little water when planted and can do without until harvest if necessary. Amaranth plant will grow in poor soil, in rich soil, and in rocky or clayey soil that other crops will not grow in. Amaranth puts nitrogen back into the soil naturally, eliminating the need for artificial nitrates which run off and pollute the waterways. A field can be kept in good shape by rotating amaranth with corn without adding any artificial fertilizer. It is a herbaceous plant, reaching a height of 3-4 meters with inflorescences containing 1-1.5 mm diameter seeds. On average, each plant produces 50,000 seeds from which is is made amaranth oil. It is believed that the birthplace of amaranth is Central America. For several millennia, this plant was the main raw material for the food of the Incas and Aztecs. They also worshiped amaranth, as a healing and sacred plant.
