In India there are 3 species of Amaranthus whose seeds are used as grains,not as vegetables

I wish to know the name of this species.

Amaranthus caudatus

Amaranthus cruentus[Not possible as my specimen is not red and seeds are not black]

Amaranthus hypochondriacus

Best regards

Digpati Roy

[J.M. Garg]

In that case, it may be Amaranthus cruentus L. as per details herein and as per comparative images at Amaranthus
