Did you know: Amaranth seeds, just like quinoa, are not considered a grain. They are the seed of the amaranth plant, and considered a super-food for many reasons. Amaranth is one of the ancient grains that traces it origin to 8000 years and is great source of protein. In addition to being gluten-free, which makes it a great choice for people who are celiac or unable to digest and process gluten, it contains high amounts of lysine, an essential amino acid missing in most other grains. This makes amaranth a complete protein, because it contains all the essential amino acids required.
