What it is
Amaranth powder is made from amaranth, a grain-like seed that has been cultivated for thousands of years. The seeds are typically ground into a fine powder, often after being toasted or puffed to enhance flavor and texture.
Why it's used
Amaranth powder is used as a nutrient-rich ingredient, adding protein, fiber, and minerals to foods. It's often found in baked goods, cereals, and protein powders, where it can also contribute to texture and a slightly nutty flavor.
Health notes
In the US, amaranth is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a good source of protein and fiber. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated amaranth and its components, but no specific health concerns are widely noted at typical dietary intakes.
Allergen info
Amaranth is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
