Amaranth

Amaranth is a non wheat ancient grain (although technically a seed) known for its high protein content, with some varieties containing as much as 16% protein by weight. It is also a good source of minerals such as iron, calcium, and magnesium, and it is high in dietary fiber.

Did you know amaranth grains can be cooked and eaten as a staple food, similar to rice or oats? They can also be ground into flour and used in a variety of baked goods, such as bread and pasta.
