Can you identify this vegetable?

Seen at an Asian grocer in Philly’s Chinatown, with no label in sight. It was next to the water spinach.

I am intrigued.

@Presunto FTW :folded_hands: :face_blowing_a_kiss:: it’s amaranth, apparently. Must check if we get that at our Asian markets back home.

Did you ask at the store?

If I had I probably wouldn’t have posted here :wink:

It was very busy, and we were in a bit of a rush. Thankfully, one of our esteemed members sent me a DM almost immediately after I posted here, solving the mystery quickly.

Looks like purple/Thai basil to me :man_shrugging:

Nope.

It’s Amaranth.
