    Yummy

    These are great. I've used them in a similar way to how you'd make grits or porridge. Popping was a bit more difficult but it can be done. Would recommend.

FAQs

What are the health benefits of amaranth grain?

Amaranth grain is highly nutritious, offering a rare plant-based source of complete protein that includes all essential amino acids. It is also packed with dietary fiber, iron, and essential minerals, which support overall digestive health, muscle maintenance, and sustained energy levels.

How does amaranth compare to quinoa?

Both amaranth and quinoa are gluten-free ancient grains that provide complete plant proteins. However, amaranth seeds are smaller and develop a slightly gelatinous porridge-like consistency when boiled long, or a distinct popping texture when cooked lightly, making it ideal for hot breakfast cereals.

Can you pop NOW Foods organic amaranth like popcorn?

Yes, amaranth can be dry-popped in a hot, covered pan without oil, a tablespoon at a time. It pops very quickly into tiny, white, nutty-flavored puffs that make an excellent addition to homemade granolas, snack bars, or as a crunchy topping for yogurt.
