In Case Of Organic Amaranth is made up of tiny seeds. This healthy "superfood" seed cooks up to a porridge-like texture or can be pooped in a skillet like popcorn for a nutty flavour and crunchy texture.
This ancient grain was once considered a staple food in the Inca, Maya and Aztec civilizations. It is classified as a pseudocereal, meaning it is not a cereal grain like wheat or oats, however it shares a comparable set of nutrients and used in similar ways. You can sprout it by soaking it in water, cook it, added it to soomthies, soups, or stews or used as you would rice, wheat or oats.

Prep Instructions:
To prepare as a cereal, bring 3/4 cup of water to a boil and add 1/4 cup of Amaranth. Return to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 30 minutes or until tender. Drain off any remaining water. Amaranth can be used as a side dish and can also be added to soups, salads or casseroles or you can pop it like popcorn. Simply heat up a dry pot to high heat, pour in the Amaranth and shake the pan as they pop so that they don't burn. Remove from heat as soon as they are puffed up.
