Amaranth is rich in iron, calcium and vitamin K. Because amaranth's iron and calcium content are both higher than spinach, and more importantly, amaranth contains no oxalic acid, the calcium and iron it contains are easily absorbed and utilized by the human body after entering it. Therefore, amaranth can promote children's growth and development, and has a promoting effect on teeth and bone growth. Amaranth is also suitable for women and the elderly, and has certain dietary therapeutic value for the healing of fractures. Amaranth is also greatly beneficial for maintaining normal myocardial activity, preventing muscle cramps, and promoting blood coagulation, because the abundant iron it contains can synthesize hemoglobin in red blood cells, increase hemoglobin content and improve oxygen-carrying capacity, promote blood production and other functions, and is most suitable for anemia patients.

The market reduces plastic, sincerely seeking clean second-hand bags
The Water Garden Market has been promoting being plastic bag-free for quite some time, with quite good results. We are grateful for all friends' joint response; almost most old friends use their own shopping baskets or shopping bags. Therefore, we hope everyone can donate clean second-hand plastic bags and paper bags that are no longer needed at home to the market, avoiding always using new plastic bags while leaving plastic bags that have only been used once unemployed. We hope plastic bags can not just shine once, but continue to shine and give warmth until the day they retire. And this long-term task needs everyone's help~~
Market opening hours every Saturday 11:00-17:00. Welcome to donate clean second-hand plastic bags and paper bags to the market's service desk!
