Amaranth improvement in India hither to was concerned with development of high-yielding varieties, and hardly any
research efforts have been made for its nutritional improvement. Keeping this in view, at Indian Institute of Horticultural
Research two high-yielding amaranth varieties, Arka Samraksha and Arka Varna with high antioxidant activity, low
amounts of nitrates and oxalates were developed using modified bulk method of selection from segregating population
of the crosses IIHR-4 x IIHR-70 and IIHR-7 x IIHR-30 . Arka Samraksha is a high-yielding (10.9 t/ha in 30-35 days),
pulling-type variety with green leaves and stem, antioxidant activity of 499mg (AEAC units) and minimum nitrate
content of 27.3 mg and 1.34 g oxalates per 100 g fresh leaf weight. Arka Varna also a pulling type, high-yielding
variety (10.6 t/ha in 30-35 days) with green leaves and a pink stem, high antioxidant activity of 417 mg (AEAC units),
low nitrate content of 37.6 mg and 1.42 g oxalates per 100 g fresh leaf weight
