Amaranth (whole grain)
Amaranth refers to the tiny seeds of the amaranth plant, an ancient grain-like crop originally cultivated in the Americas. It is cooked like a grain, either simmered into a porridge or popped, and has a slightly nutty, earthy flavour with a somewhat sticky texture when cooked. It is naturally gluten-free and often used in porridges, breads, and as a thickener.
