什麼是A菜

mar菜是一年生開花植物的一種。 It goes by common names such as love-lies-bleeding, pendant amaranth, tassel flower, velvet flower, foxtail amaranth, and quilete.它有很多常見的名字，例如愛謊言流血，吊墜a菜花，流蘇花，天鵝絨花，狐尾a菜花和。 Many parts of the plants, including the leaves and seeds, are edible, and are frequently used as a source of food in India and South America — where it is the most important Andean species of Amaranthus, known as Kiwicha (see also Andean ancient plants).植物的許多部分，包括葉子和種子，都是可食用的，並且在印度和南美經常被用作食物來源，那裡是is菜最重要的安第斯物種，被稱為奇威奇（Kiwicha）（另見安第斯古代植物） ）。 This species, as with many other of the Amaranths, are originally from the American tropics.與其他mar菜一樣，該物種最初來自美國熱帶地區。 The exact origin is unknown, as A. caudatus is believed to be a wild Amaranthus hybridus aggregate.確切的起源是未知的，因為人們認為A. caudatus是野生的mar菜雜交種。
The red color of the inflorescences is due to a high content of betacyanins, like in the related species known as "Hopi Red Dye" amaranth.花序的紅色是由於高含量的花青素所致，就像在相關物種“霍皮紅染料” a菜中一樣。 Ornamental garden varieties sold under the latter name are either Amaranthus cruentus or a hybrid between A. cruentus and Amaranthus powelli.以後一種名稱出售的觀賞花園品種是are菜或or菜和po菜的雜種。 In indigenous agriculture, Amaranthus cruentus is the Central American counterpart to South American Amaranthus caudatus.在本地農業中，Amaranthus cruentus是南美南美A菜的中美洲對應品種。
A. caudatus can grow anywhere from 3 to 8 feet in height, and grows best in full sun.馬尾草可以生長在XNUMX到XNUMX英尺高的任何地方，在陽光充足的地方生長最好。 It can handle a variety of conditions, both humid and arid.它可以應對多種條件，包括潮濕和乾旱。 It is easily grown from seed;它很容易從種子中生長出來。 plants can be started indoors in early spring and transplanted outdoors after the last frost.可以在早春在室內開始種植植物，並在最後霜凍後移栽到戶外。
