Ceres Amaranth Grain (organic, gluten free) - 500g

Amaranth, also known as "kiwicha," is a tiny, grain-like seed that packs a big nutritional punch. Higher in protein than many other grains, it is a great gluten-free option that boasts nutrient density, thickening abilities and a mild, nutty flavour.

To cook, simmer 1 cup of organic amaranth in 2 1/2 cups of water for 18-25 minutes or until tender. To enhance the flavour, add fresh herbs or ginger root or use half measures of water and stock or apple juice. For a delicious breakfast cereal, increase the liquid to 3 cups and sweeten with honey or brown rice syrup.

Ingredients: Organic Amaranth

Origin: Packed in New Zealand from imported ingredients (India)

Certification: BioGro

Enjoy Me...

We use amaranth in the same way as all other grains (to accompany stews and curries). It also goes really well in cold tabbouleh style recipes.

How Interesting...

This ‘grain’ is quite dense so we like to combine it with other grains to get a varied texture. It combines well with millet and quinoa as it has similar cooking times.
