Tour of Amaranth Cooperative Farm,Thu 19 Dec 2019, 9 am to 4 pm
Known to the Aztecs as huauhtli, amaranth is thought to have comprised up to 80% of their
energy consumption before the Spanish conquest. Because it was also used to prepare ritual
drinks and foods, the Conquistadores banned its cultivation for religious reasons. Nowadays,
though, a new appreciation for the nutritional value of the crop has brought a resurgence in
the cultivation of amaranth, as we will learn on this tour.
