Amaranth Fair In Mexico City

Vendors offer their products during the Amaranth Fair in Mexico City, Mexico, on February 3, 2026. Amaranth is grown under rainfed conditions, mostly using the traditional ''chapin'' transplanting system, which involves small blocks of mud extracted from the canals of the chinampas (floating gardens) of Lake Xochimilco. Harvesting is done manually, and the grain or seed is used entirely for processing by local micro-industries. (Photo by Gerardo Vieyra/NurPhoto)
