AMARANTH, 25 lbs. Amaranth (Amaranthus Creuntus) is a very ancient grain. It is a sacred food of the Aztecs and Incas. These are tiny round grains, gold in color with flecks of black and just smaller than a mustard seed. Amaranth is high in protein and vitamins with a crunchy texture (requires attentive chewing). It has a pleasant, fresh, corn-like aroma and woodsy peppery flavor. Amaranth is very versatile and can be used as a substitute for wheat (especially for the allergy prone). Amaranth is actually not a grain, but a seed from a broadleaf herb plant. There is evidence of Amaranth going back to 4000 BC. Amaranth was not only used as a food by the Aztecs, it was also one of the materials used to make statues of their deities.
