Nonnullae species pro holeribus, pseudocerealibus, et plantis ornamentalibus coluntur. Plurimae species sunt aestivae plantae inutiles annuae. Cymae sicut amenta floribus crebro conferta aestate vel autumno maturant. Circa sexaginta species accipiuntur, inflorescentiis et foliis a purpureo et rubro ad viridem et aureum variantibus. Speciebus sunt multae proprietates et usus etiam in Celosia, genere arte conecto. Amaranthe, grex metallicus Suecicus, ex hac planta appellatur.
