AMARANTH PROVIDES A GREAT ALTERNATIVE TO TRADITIONAL OAT FLAKES 

Amaranth flakes are a rich alternative to traditional oat or other porridge flakes. Mildly sweet and aromatic, the amaranth flakes make a versatile addition to cooking.  

Amaranth (Amaranthus hypochondriacus) is a herbaceous plant that is related to spinach. Amaranth is grown for its small but very versatile seeds, and the plant thrives in dry and warm climates. The ancient Aztecs discovered amaranth to be a very productive food plant, and ever since it has spread and is now commonly used in both Central America and Asia.

Amaranth flakes are also a suitable side dish and you can use them in soups, casseroles and in baking.
