The mineral elements and the amino acids in seeds of cultivated Amaranthus hypochondriacus were studied. The following conclusions can be made: 1. The contents of minerals in Amaranthus seed are similar to those of wheat and (except of a few elements: P, K) of pea. The habitats of plants, especially the soil conditions effect importantly on minerals. -2. The total amino acid content and mainly the rate of essential amino acids (lysine, arginine etc) are higher than those in seeds of wheat and maize and this fact create the importance of cultivation and utilisation of this plant. The cultivated Amaranthus species have favourable ecological properties (drought resistance, undemanding) too.
对栽培的垂穗苋种子中的矿物元素和氨基酸进行了研究。可得出以下结论：1. 苋属种子中的矿物质含量与小麦以及豌豆（除少数元素：磷、钾外）的矿物质含量相似。植物的生长环境，尤其是土壤条件对矿物质有重要影响。-2. 总氨基酸含量，主要是必需氨基酸（赖氨酸、精氨酸等）的比例高于小麦和玉米种子，这一事实凸显了这种植物栽培和利用的重要性。栽培的苋属物种也具有良好的生态特性（抗旱、要求不高）。
