Amaranth Seeds

Amaranth Seeds have a rich history, dating back thousands of years to the ancient civilizations of the Aztecs and Incas. It was considered a staple food. Amaranth seeds are harvested from the amaranth plant, which produces vibrant, tall stalks with tiny flowers. The seeds are then separated and can be consumed as they are or ground into flour.

Amaranth seeds are a nutritional powerhouse. Amaranth seeds can be cooked and used in a variety of dishes such as porridge, salads, and baked goods, adding a nutty flavour and a delightful crunch. They may help lower cholesterol levels, support heart health, and promote digestion. Amaranth seeds are also known for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
