What Is Amaranth?
 

Amaranth is a valuable food source that’s use is said to date back some 8,000 years to the Aztec Empire.  Recently, the World Health Organization (WHO) has discovered that in areas of Africa and Latin America where Amaranth is consumed there exists no malnutrition.
 

Why Cook With Amaranth?
 

Amaranth contains more protein than any other gluten-free grain(28 grams per cup)- and more protein than wheat.  Even when used alone, amaranth has protein complexes that are more than complete for most individuals.

Amaranth is an excellent source of lysine, an important amino acid (protein). Grains are notorious for low lysine content, which decreases the quality of their proteins.

Amaranth is a highly nutritious and contains high traces of magnesium, iron, calcium, potassium, and manganese just to name a few.

Cooling thermal nature; bitter and sweet flavor; dries dampness; benefits the lungs; high in protein.
