Description
Amaranth seeds, also known as amaranth grain, are small seeds derived from the amaranth plant, a flowering plant that is native to Central America and has been cultivated for thousands of years for its edible seeds, leaves, and stems. Amaranth seeds are known for their high nutritional value, versatility, and unique texture. Amaranth seeds are typically small, round or oval-shaped, and come in various colors, including white, golden, red, and black. They have a slightly peppery or nutty flavor, and a chewy texture when cooked. Amaranth seeds are gluten-free, and they are also considered a pseudocereal, meaning they are not technically a grain, but they are used and cooked similarly to grains.
