What it is

Amaranth is a grain-like seed that comes from the amaranth plant, which is grown in many parts of the world. The seeds are typically toasted and then flaked to create amaranth flakes, a whole-grain ingredient.

Why it's used

Amaranth flakes are used to add texture and whole-grain nutrition to foods. They are often found in breakfast cereals, granola bars, baked goods, and as a coating for frozen foods.

Health notes

Amaranth is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of fiber, protein, and various micronutrients. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated amaranth and its components. Evidence suggests amaranth can be part of a healthy diet, contributing to nutrient intake.

Allergen info

Amaranth is not a major allergen. It does not contain gluten.
