Santiago Tulyehualco is a town in the rural area of Mexico City, where amaranth families grow, transform and market amaranth, and coexist between traditional and modern. Through their practices in the different productive phases, this coexistence manifests itself, from which they have used their traditional knowledge to adapt, innovate and create a diversity of products elaborated in their family agro-industries, creating jobs and income in their families and through time it has become a life option and therefore a development option. The objective of this paper was to demonstrate that for amaranther families there is the coexistence of the traditional and the modern, expressed through their activities. Field data from three research projects (2004, 2011 and 2017) conducted by Universidad Autónoma Chapingo and the Colegio de Postgraduados, where 50 producers and 18 families were interviewed, semi-structured interviews, bibliographic review and observation were used. The information shown is analyzed and discussed from the theoretical perspective of urban anthropology, proposed by Bonfil-Batalla (1988), using holistic analysis and the ethnographic method.
