What it is

Amaranth flour is made from amaranth, a grain-like seed that has been cultivated for thousands of years. The tiny seeds are ground into a fine powder, creating a gluten-free flour.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use amaranth flour as a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour in baked goods like breads, cookies, and crackers. It can add a slightly nutty flavor and a boost of nutrients to products.

Health notes

Amaranth flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a good source of fiber and protein. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated amaranth, but no specific health concerns are noted at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Amaranth flour is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It is naturally gluten-free.
