Smart Organic Amaranth is a naturally gluten-free ingredient with a mild, slightly nutty flavour and a distinctive texture after cooking. It works equally well in warm breakfast bowls, salads, savoury recipes and desserts.
Amaranth contains all nine essential amino acids and provides 14 g protein per 100 g. It is also a source of fibre and naturally contains minerals including iron, selenium, magnesium and phosphorus, as well as vitamin B6.
Because it is naturally gluten-free, amaranth is one of the grain alternatives suitable for people avoiding gluten, including those with coeliac disease.
Once cooked, amaranth develops a soft, sticky and slightly creamy texture. This is completely normal and makes it particularly suitable for porridge, bowls and recipes where you want a more cohesive consistency.
