Amaranth Greens- the new, new, new super food?

Cooking unfamiliar vegetables we get from Norwich Meadows Farm in the CSA is a whole new world these days.  When I joined the Norwood CSA in 2005, cookbooks were really the only place to turn for recipe ideas:
Farmer John's The Real Dirt on Vegetables was a must have
Simply in Season from the Mennonite Central Committee, also useful

These days, I almost always turn to the computer to produce creative and delicious dishes.  You still need to wade through many less than stellar recipes, but it turns up a lot of family crowd pleasers in our household!

I found this post on the Organic Authority (relation to the now bankrupt Sports Authority- could be!), extolling the wonders of mighty Amaranth Greens:

• vitamin E in them could lower cholesterol and reduce risk of heart disease
• potassium can improve brain function and reduce risk of stroke
• magnesium reduces high blood pressure, gives energy, calms anxiety, prevents osteoperosis
• improves digestion
• high in iron, addresses anemia

We are now feeding the stems to our guinea pig with the hopes that he develops super powers, or at least starts cleaning his own cage.

We tried the recipe included, using some of the spring onions and garlic scapes, replacing the coconut milk with some of the cream we had left over after making chicken tikka masala (ok, I realize that cream might counteract some of the amaranth benefits).  The girls loved the pink greens, as well as their parents.  If that's not a super food, I don't know what is!
