Another Super Grain, this tiny-but-powerful food has some similarities to quinoa, both are good protein sources and are naturally gluten-free and is a true powerhouse.

Amaranth seeds are a highly nutritious grain and an excellent source of plant-based protein. The protein content in amaranth seeds is approximately:

13–14 grams of protein per 100 grams (uncooked).
100 grams of cooked amaranth contains approximately 4–5 grams of protein.

This makes amaranth one of the highest-protein grains, and it contains all nine essential amino acids, making it a complete protein source. It's particularly beneficial for vegetarians, vegans, or anyone looking to add more diverse protein sources to their diet.

Uses: Its become a popular ingredient in processed foods like granola bars, salad toppings, baked products, etc. but it is also great to eat on its own even like a porridge. Popped amaranth is used as a topping for toast, among other things. It looks like tiny popcorn kernels and has a nutty taste.

Gluten Free

Did you know: Amaranth seeds is a source of fibre with 13 grams of dietary fibre per uncooked cup compared to just 2 grams for the same amount of long-grain white rice
