Organic Amaranth Seeds 1kg

Amaranth is an ancient grain that has been cultivated for over 8,000 years in Central and South America. It was a staple food of the Aztecs and was considered a sacred crop. Amaranth seeds are tiny, round, and come in a range of colours, including yellow, red, and purple. They are rich in protein, fibre, and minerals like iron and calcium. Certified Organic Amaranth seeds can be cooked and eaten like grains or popped like popcorn. They are also ground into flour and used in baking with no additives and preservatives. In Mexican cuisine, amaranth seeds are mixed with honey to make a traditional sweet called "alegria." In India, amaranth is used to make a porridge called "rajgira ki kheer." Certified organic by the Soil Association (Licence No. DA30314), Thames Organic Amaranth Seeds are naturally vegan and GMO-free, with a mildly nutty, earthy flavour. A versatile ingredient for salads, stews, porridge, baking and other everyday recipes.
