Amaranth Grain Organic (Sold In Bulk)
Amaranth grain is a tiny, gluten-free seed that comes from the amaranth plant, a group of more than 60 species of flowering plants in the Amaranthaceae family. It's often classified as a "pseudocereal," meaning it’s used in similar ways to grains like rice or quinoa, but it's not a true grass.
Amaranth is known for its impressive nutritional profile—it's a complete protein, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids, which is rare for plant-based foods. It’s also rich in fiber, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and manganese, making it a great addition to a balanced diet. Plus, it's high in antioxidants like polyphenols, which are beneficial for overall health.
Amaranth grain can be cooked like rice or quinoa—boiled in water, used in porridges, or added to soups, salads, and baked goods. It also pops like popcorn and can be used as a crunchy snack or added to cereals and granolas.
