🌾 Amaranth

Amaranth is a vegetable crop that grows from Amaranth Seeds in Fall. It takes 7 days to mature and has a base sell price of 150g. Amaranth is required in multiple quests, most notably Marnie’s “Cow’s Favorite” quest. It can also be used in cooking recipes and as a profitable crop for players looking to diversify their fall harvests.

Beyond its monetary value, Amaranth is notable for its versatility: it can be eaten for energy, processed into artisan goods, or gifted to villagers who appreciate vegetables.

🌱 Growing

Amaranth is planted using Amaranth Seeds, which can be purchased from Pierre’s General Store for 70g each. Seeds are available throughout the Fall season. Amaranth grows in 7 days and does not regrow after harvest, so players must replant if they want more.
