Role in food

What it is

Whole grain amaranth flour is made from amaranth, a pseudocereal crop grown for its edible seeds. The seeds are ground into a fine powder, similar to how wheat is milled into flour. Amaranth is native to the Americas and has been cultivated for thousands of years.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use whole grain amaranth flour as a nutrient-rich flour alternative in baked goods like breads and muffins. It can also be used as a thickener in sauces or as a binder in vegetarian products. Its slightly nutty flavor is a desirable characteristic in many food applications.

Health notes

Whole grain 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. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated amaranth and its components. Research suggests that whole grains, including amaranth, can be part of a healthy diet.

Allergen info

Amaranth is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It is also naturally gluten-free.
