Amaranth (Raw) is an ancient, gluten-free seed used like a cereal grain in cuisines from Latin America to South Asia; it’s commonly cooked as a porridge, popped like popcorn, or incorporated into breads and porridges. Nutritionally, it is relatively protein-rich with about 13.6g of protein per 100g and also supplies meaningful fiber and minerals such as magnesium and copper. As a plant protein, it provides a broad amino-acid profile and a favorable fat composition with some omega‑3s, making it a useful pantry staple when you want more plant-based protein and minerals in your diet.
