Description:

• Amaranth is the gluten-free seed of the broad-leafed amaranth plant rather than of grasses and hence technically cannot be called a grain or cereal. 
• However, it is often treated as one as its nutritional profile is similar.
• In that, it is similar to kaniwa, kiwicha and quinoa. 
• Amaranth is now considered a super food as it.
• Doesn’t contain any gluten which makes it a great choice for people who are celiac or gluten intolerant and an excellent way to boost the nutritional power of gluten-free recipes
• Has a much higher protein content than for most other grains
• It is a good source of fibre
• Popped amaranth has a nutty and crunchy flavour and is great as porridge or dessert
• Amaranth flour can be added to make pancakes, muffins, rotis, wraps and quick breads.
