Amaranth is a group of more than 60 different species of grains that have been cultivated for about 8,000 years. These ancient grains were once considered a staple food in the Inca, Maya, and Aztec civilizations. Amaranth is not a true cereal grain like wheat or oats, but rather a “pseudo-cereal,” similar to quinoa. Its origins trace back to Mesoamerica, where it was not only a vital source of nutrition but also played a significant role in religious ceremonies.

Amaranth is highly regarded for its nutritional profile. It is a great source of complete protein, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids, which is quite rare for plant-based foods. Additionally, Amaranth is rich in fiber, antioxidants, and micronutrients such as magnesium, iron, phosphorus, and manganese. It’s also noted for its high content of lysine, an amino acid often lacking in grains.
