Amaranth is a vibrant, fuchsia-colored crop that can be grown during the fall season. It takes seven days to mature and can be harvested with a scythe. Once collected, it can be sold for a profit, used as an ingredient in cooking recipes, or given as a gift to villagers who enjoy or love it. Additionally, it serves as a quest item for the "Amaranth's Melody" quest, where a specific character requests it.
