SHILOH FARMS Amaranth has a pleasing aroma and delicate, nutty sweetness that makes this grain as versatile as it is nutritious.
Amaranth falls into that group of pseudocereals (like quinoa and buckwheat) that are not actually grains at all, but are treated as such due to their nutritional content.
As with many grains, amaranth is a rich source of protein, fiber, and minerals (including magnesium, phosphorus, and iron)
It is unique in being the only grain to also contain significant amounts of Vitamin C! It is also significantly higher than most other grains in the important amino acid lysine.
Domesticated almost 8,000 years ago, amaranth was a culinary staple for the Aztecs and other early Native American civilizations.
It also played a major role in religious practices and ceremonies, where it was offered as tribute, and remains an important part of cultural celebrations.
