Amaranth - Puffed

Description

The Aztecs and Incas have for centuries honoured the rich nutritional benefits of amaranth because it gives them amazing strength and sustenance. Indeed these little wonder seeds are high in minerals, fibre and proteins with an amino acids profile perfect for the human body. Amaranth is a rich source of all essential amino acids, in particular lysine. Amaranth is suitable for those avoiding gluten or seeking a safe source of vegetable protein. It is a highly digestible nurturing food for people of all ages, especially recommended for the very active, vegetarians, vegans, children, and pregnant and breastfeeding women. Puffed Amaranth is perfect as an instant breakfast cereal on its own or mixed with other cereals to improve nutritional profile. Amaranth was a dietary staple of the pre-Columbian Aztec empire, who believed it had supernatural powers and incorporated it into their religious ceremonies. This ancient crop was "lost" for hundreds of years, and only since the Sixties, following its rediscovery, has it been grown commercially from wild varieties found. Amaranth seed is an extremely nutritious grain, it's high in protein (15-18%) and contains lysine and methionine, two essential amino acids that are not frequently found in grains. It is high in fibre and contains calcium, iron, potassium, phosphorus, and vitamins A and C. These puffs are great added to cereal or yoghurt for a gluten-free boost.
