Golden Grain of the Gods

Amarnth

Discover the whole grain goodness of Amaranth. This tiny grain is actually a seed and it has a rich history dating back 8,000 years, when it was first cultivated in Mesoamerica.

The ancient Aztecs relied on amaranth as a food staple and used it in religious rituals, earning it the names “super grain of the Aztecs” and “golden grain of the gods.”

Amaranth is a gluten-free food and a source of complete protein. It contains all the essential amino acids, including lysine, which is lacking in most grains. High in fiber and a good source of magnesium and iron, Amaranth is a healthy addition to your diet.

You can pop it like popcorn, grind it into flour, toast it, sprout it or cook it like rice. All this, and it’s good for you too. I am sprouting it!
