What it is
Amaranth is a pseudocereal, meaning it's a seed used like a grain. It is grown from the amaranth plant, which produces tiny, nutrient-rich seeds. The seeds are typically harvested and then processed for food use, often by milling them into flour or cooking them whole.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use amaranth as a whole grain or flour in various products. It adds a slightly nutty flavor and a boost of nutrients. You can find it in cereals, baked goods like breads and muffins, and snack bars.
Health notes
Amaranth is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a good source of fiber, protein, and various minerals. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated amaranth and its components. Evidence suggests that consuming whole grains like amaranth as part of a balanced diet can contribute to overall health.
Allergen info
Amaranth is not one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
