Organic amaranth 2kg

But what is amaranth? The millet-like amaranth grains have been an integral part of many Latin American cuisines for more than 3,000 years and are still an essential part of a balanced diet around the world. The cultivated plant comes from the amaranth family. Due to its taste, you can use the Aztec grain in many different ways: do you like it hearty? Then turn on the oven and bake some fresh amaranth bread with millet or prepare some tasty amaranth patties. In a salad, refined with virgin olive oil, or in a casserole, the golden grain takes you on a culinary journey of discovery into times long past.

Savoury is not your thing? How about amaranth porridge or an amaranth topping for your fruity muesli to start the day full of energy – à la Incas? Or would you rather have a homemade amaranth bar for in between meals? You can even conjure up delicious amaranth biscuits and cookies for little ones with a sweet tooth using Inca gold. A little tip: if you’re really brave, try a creamy, original Latin American amaranth soup with corn – for that Aztec feeling in your mouth. As you can see, there are countless recipes for delicious dishes that use amaranth as a main course or side dish. Just take a look at our food journal for more inspo!

And while we’re at it: have you heard of its grainy friend, quinoa? Also known as “Inca popcorn”, quinoa has just so much to offer as well. Thousands of years old tradition of indigenous peoples in your kitchen. One thing is clear: the Incas and Aztecs possessed huge treasures of incredible value – you can find at least one of them here with us.
