AMARANTH - BAG 200 GR

🌿 Just like quinoa, amaranth played an important food role in pre-Columbian civilizations, both in Mesoamerica (among the Mayas and Aztecs, in particular) and in South America (among the Incas for example). After long centuries in obscurity, this little seed very similar to quinoa is making a strong comeback in its region of origin and is also starting to make itself known in France. ⚡️NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS These seeds are interesting for vegetarians and anyone who wants to reduce their meat consumption, as they are a good source of protein and essential amino acids. Rich in fiber. Naturally gluten free. Rich in iron (the latter must be combined with vitamin C for better iron absorption). 🧑‍🍳 PREPARATION TIPS The seeds cook for 20 to 30 minutes in twice their volume of water. In a mixed salad, in cakes, amaranth pancakes, amaranth pudding (rice pudding style), or cooking like a risotto... More fun: heat them in a covered pan to pop them and make "popcorn !
