What it is

Amaranth is a pseudocereal, meaning its seeds are used like grains but it is not botanically a grass. It is grown for its edible seeds and leaves. The seeds are typically ground into flour for use in cooking and baking.

Why it's used

Amaranth flour is used as a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour in baking, adding a slightly nutty flavor and denser texture. It can be found in breads, pastas, cookies, and baked goods.

Health notes

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

Allergen info

Amaranth is not derived from any of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It is naturally gluten-free.
