Fermented Organic Amaranth Sprout

Amaranth is a grain-like seed, often called a pseudocereal. Fermenting amaranth sprouts can increase the availability of nutrients and may alter the flavor profile. The sprouts are then typically dried and processed into a powder.

Manufacturers may add fermented amaranth sprout powder for its nutritional content, including protein and fiber. It can also contribute a unique flavor to foods. It is found in products like smoothie mixes, and sometimes in snacks.

Fermented amaranth sprout is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of nutrients like protein and fiber. International bodies like JECFA have not specifically evaluated this particular preparation, but amaranth itself is a food ingredient. There are no widespread controversies or significant health concerns associated with its consumption at typical levels.
