Comparison of the Nutrient Compositions in Red and Green Amaranthus (Amaranthus hypochondriacus)

Academic Journal of Life Sciences, 2022
Amaranth has two morphological types, one is red and another is green. For this study, we collected five red and five green morph samples to analysis in terms of proximate, minerals, antioxidant pigments and phytochemicals and antioxidant activity in three replicates. The leaves of red amaranth are an outstanding source of dietary fiber, carbohydrates,
