ORGANIC AMARANTH 300G
Amaranth is classified as a seed rather than a grain. Belonging to the family Amaranthaceae, amaranth is gluten-free. It can be used in both sweet and savory dishes.
Amaranth and quinoa are considered ancient grains. Compared to quinoa, amaranth is smaller and possesses a distinctive grassy smell and a nutty, herbal taste. When cooking amaranth, it is added to boiling water and cooked until the liquid is absorbed. For a pilaf, the recommended measurements are 1 cup of amaranth to 1 1/2 cups of water; for cereal, 1 cup of amaranth requires 2 1/2 cups of water.
Amaranth seeds can also be popped and added to baked goods for a unique texture. They can be used in various recipes, including salads, breads, and cookies, for both savory and sweet dishes.
