This variety of amaranth is considered by many agronomists to be the most versatile. This is because in it you can use not only the grain itself, but also the greens. 
True, the latter will not go to your table, but to feed the cattle. In addition, "Kharkovsky" is famous for its medicinal properties and high yields at low cost.
Used for green forage, silage, granules, grass flour and dried.
It is also used for medicinal purposes, for bakery products, making amaranth oil.
Amaranth is characterized by a low sugar value and a high protein content. Of the macronutrients, K (1.2%), Ca (2.5%), P (0.2%) accumulate predominantly. From microelements Si (0.8%) and Mg (1.1%). Significant concentrations of such biogenic elements as boron, iron, manganese, titanium, zinc were also noted. Fiber content - 14%, protein - 18%, sugar - 18%. Some types of amaranth contain up to 3% rutin or vitamin P, which is used to obtain ascorutin, flacarbine, etc. It also contains pectin, which promotes the elimination of heavy metals.
Comparison of the nutritional value of amaranth seeds with priority food crops revealed a higher protein content in amaranth, while it is well balanced in amino acid composition.
Amaranth grain contains up to 8% oil, which contains up to 10% squalene. Squalene is an essential ingredient in cosmetics and is used in technology.It should be emphasized that the deficient amino acids of leguminous plants are lysine and methionine, which are contained in two more quantities in amaranth seeds. 
These properties give special value to amaranth in the modern world, when the population of most countries constantly feels an acute shortage of protein food, 
balanced in amino acid composition.
The leaves are also rich in protein, well balanced in amino acids, which are highly soluble and easily extractable. In addition, the leaves contain nutrient and medicinal substances for humans: starch, vitamins C, E, A, pigments, pectins, microelements. In terms of the content of nutrients in the leaves, vegetable forms of amaranth are similar to spinach, but significantly surpass it in protein.
Using the protein of amaranth seeds in food makes the human diet more complete and balanced in amino acid composition. Amaranth is a vegetable crop that can make up for protein, vitamin and micronutrient deficiencies in the human diet. Therefore, amaranth leaves are also widely used for food purposes. They can be used in salads, soups and side dishes. Green mass of amaranth leaves is suitable for obtaining protein supplements to various products.
