Amaranth is a broad-leaf grain plant which originated in South and Central America. It was a staple food of the Aztec empire and the preferred grain of Aztec royalty. Of all grains, Amaranth has the highest protein content and is a good source of fiber and iron.
It has a mild, nutty, slightly sweet flavor and tastes good when combined with other grains such as rice or buckwheat.
Suggested Use
To cook alone, use 1/4 cup Amaranth to 3/4 cup liquid (broth or tomato juice) and cook for 30 minutes.

Organic amaranth.
