What it is
Toasted amaranth flour is made from the seeds of the amaranth plant, which has been cultivated for thousands of years. The seeds are lightly toasted before being ground into a flour. This process enhances the nutty flavor and aroma of the amaranth.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use toasted amaranth flour to add a distinct nutty flavor and a slightly coarser texture to baked goods. It is often found in breads, muffins, and cookies, where it can also contribute to the nutritional profile.
Health notes
Toasted amaranth flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Amaranth is a source of protein, fiber, and various micronutrients. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated amaranth and its components, but specific regulatory assessments for toasted amaranth flour are not widely publicized.
Allergen info
Amaranth is not one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. It is also naturally gluten-free.
