Amaranth Grain - 16 oz - Edison Grainery

A staple crop for the Aztecs, these small, light-tan colored seeds are cooked similarly to rice and oats and eaten as a pilaf, porridge, or can be ground into a flour and used in baking, particularly in recipes that are gluten-free. Not a “true” grain (because it doesn’t belong to the Poaceae family), amaranth is safe for those with celiac disease.

It's also a complete protein, meaning that it contains all nine essential amino acids, including lysine, which is missing from most grains.

USDA Organic. Verified Gluten Free. Non GMO. Kosher.

Storing grains:
The best way to preserve the freshness of our grains is by storing them in an airtight container in a cool, dry, preferably dark area such as your pantry. Grains are organoleptic and can transfer tastes and odors that they are stored alongside!
