BIOMASS ORGANIC DRIED AMARANTH

The word amaranth means “unfading” in Greek. The flowers of the plant are a vivid crimson all summer long, making it a striking sight. However, the flowers aren’t amaranth’s big draw — it’s the seeds. After harvesting, they’re used in a similar way to grains like rice and oats. Amaranth’s nutty, pleasantly sweet flavor and its versatility make it a perfect choice for many recipes.
The nutrients in amaranth can offer significant health benefits as a part of a healthy diet. It’s a source of vitamin C, which is vital to the body’s healing process because it helps process iron, form blood vessels, repair muscle tissue, and maintain collagen.
They’re naturally gluten-free, high in protein and rich in antioxidants.
