Description
Amaranth, is a member of the Amaranthaceae family. The amaranth is a bushy plant that reaches up to 5 - 7 meters and makes a flower of a strong magenta purple color that remains the same even when it is broken ("immortal flower"). Amaranth is now recognized as a very nutritious food, cultivated both for its leaves and seeds. Although it seems that it appeared in modern civilization overnight, it is a food consumed since the time of the Aztecs and Mayans of Central America. This amaranth plant contains a lot of antioxidants, minerals, fiber, iron and a significant amount of calcium, magnesium and folic acid. It also contains squalene, which helps reduce cholesterol and fight cancer. It is a secret of longevity and health, it gives the body more energy, it stabilizes the blood sugar level. Organic amaranth can be used in slimming diets, due to its high fiber and protein content, but also because it has few carbohydrates, it has a higher protein value than rice, whole wheat flour, oats or rye. It has seeds rich in iron, therefore it helps to fight anemia and the healthy growth of children. Since amaranth coagulates very quickly in the cold, it is recommended to be consumed while it is still warm. It can be prepared, cooked like any other cereal, but it becomes more sticky when it is boiled very hard, instead it is very nutritious. If it is cooked in a pressure cooker, boiling the amaranth only takes 10 minutes. Amaranth can be excellently combined with buckwheat, brown rice, millet, but also with corn, onions and beans.
