ORGANIC AMARANTH 5 Kg

The proposed Amaranth is certified Organic: an atypical grain also referred to as a "pseudo-cereal" because technically these grains are not true cereals but the seeds contained in the flower of the amaranth plant. Composed of small, round grains, its color is light beige-cream. Today, it is highly appreciated, especially by those with celiac disease for being naturally gluten-free, but also by those adhering to vegetarian and vegan diets because it serves as an important resource due to its wealth of plant-based proteins. It is primarily made up of fiber and also contains minerals such as calcium, iron, phosphorus, and magnesium, as well as vitamin C, vitamin A, and B vitamins, along with a high protein content. In Central America, this food has an ancient tradition and is mainly used in the preparation of snacks or desserts, or to make amaranth popcorn, similar to corn, or to be puffed.
