amaranth

FC_Editors, editor | December 29th, 2009

The tiny, gold, black-flecked seeds of the amaranth plant are an ancient food. At one time sacred to the Aztecs, amaranth has been cultivated for millennia in Central and South America. It’s very high in protein, calcium, and fiber. Amaranth is grassy, herbal, and slightly peppery. The seeds have a pleasing crunchy texture.
