Cereal of ancient origins, with a thousand nutritional properties

What is Amaranth?

The amaranth cereal is a food that has ancient origins, already used by pre-Columbian civilizations such as the Aztecs and the Maya.

It is a gluten-free cereal, more similar to a pseudocereal and rich in nutrients such as proteins, fibre, iron, calcium and magnesium.

It has an intense and slightly sweet flavor, and is often used for the preparation of savory dishes such as soups, salads or as a base for vegetarian burgers, or for desserts such as cakes and biscuits.

Due to its versatility and health benefits, amaranth is increasingly in demand in modern diets.
