Amaranth Grain Organic 1 lb Grains
Product Description
Along with buckwheat and quinoa, amaranth is one of the few plant sources to offer a complete set of amino acids, making it a rare plant source of complete protein. It’s naturally gluten-free and a good source of fiber. Our organic amaranth has a mild flavor that’s both sweet and nutty, and its perfect as a hot cereal or in baked goods and granola.
- Sweet and Nutty Flavor
- Good Source of Fiber
- Organic Ancient Grain
Suggested Usage: 1 cup of NOW Real Food Organic Amaranth 2 1/2 cups of water Rinse organic amaranth thoroughly under cold running water. Combine amaranth and water into a pot. Bring to a boil then cover with tight fitting lid. Reduce heat to low and allow amaranth to simmer for 20 minutes or until grains are fluffy and water absorbs. ***Tip: If you would like to turn this mixture into an amaranth porridge add another 1/2 cup of water and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
