From The Buffalo Seed Company:
"AMARANTH (Amaranthus cruentus)
 
DESCRIPTION—This landrace amaranth from Moenkopi, Arizona, is an epic display of red against a clear blue sky, contrast. This landrace is called Komo and Hopi Red Dye. Komo can grow up to six feet, has dark green/red leaves, and generates an epic red head full of seeds. Young leaves and seeds are delicious. The Hopi make a natural dye out of it to color piki. This is a powerful plant. A landrace is a traditional variety with deep cultural roots that is often dynamic, diverse, and adapted to specific environmental conditions."
