About Amaranth Millet
Amaranth, a nutritious ancient grain, is a good source of protein, fiber, iron, and other essential nutrients, and is gluten-free. It's also a good source of minerals like manganese, magnesium, phosphorus, and iron.
Amaranth is one of the richest plant forms of protein available. The protein is easily absorbed by the body and contains all amino acids — even lysine, which is often missing from cereal grains. Studies show that in the plant kingdom, amaranth proteins are among the most similar to animal proteins.
Amaranth plants are classified as pseudocereals that are grown for their edible starchy seeds, but they are not in the same botanical family as true cereals, such as wheat and rice. Amaranth species that are still used as a grain are Amaranthus caudatus L., Amaranthus cruentus L., and Amaranthus hypochondriacus L.
