Amaranth

Amaranth is a versatile, gluten-free ancient grain with a nutty, earthy flavor that has been a dietary staple for centuries. Once cherished by the Maya, Inca, and Aztec civilizations, this powerhouse grain is now celebrated for its exceptional health benefits and high-quality protein content.

Naturally gluten-free, amaranth is an excellent choice for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities. Rich in fiber, manganese, magnesium, iron, and phosphorus, it’s a nutrient-dense addition to any meal. Other gluten-free grains available at Mount Hope Wholesale include millet, long-grain brown rice, and tri-colored quinoa.

Why Choose Amaranth Grain?

• Nutrient-Dense: Packed with brain-boosting manganese, bone-supporting phosphorus, energy-enhancing iron, and cell-protecting antioxidants.
• Health Benefits: May help reduce inflammation, lower cholesterol, and support weight management when included in a balanced diet.
• Naturally Gluten-Free: A safe, nutritious alternative for those avoiding gluten.

How to Prepare Amaranth

For easier digestion, sprout the grains before cooking. Here’s how:

1. Soak amaranth in cool water for 2 hours.
2. Drain and let it germinate in a dish covered with a cloth.
3. Rinse and drain every 8 hours for up to 48 hours.

Sprouted amaranth should be used in small batches, as it doesn’t store as long as dried seeds.
