Description
Amaranth belongs among pseudo-cereals, which means that it does not belong to cereal grass but its use in the kitchen is the same. Grain and from the grain grounded flour are used mainly in the food-processing industry, and so are the leaves. Sometimes it is also used as a feed in agriculture. Pastry and pasta for people with celiac diet are mainly prepared from the amaranth flour. Flavour related, amaranth flour enriches not only pastry, but also cocoa (for example).
The plant, which amaranth is derived from, is called Amaranthus. It was grown in Central America by the Aztecs and Incas already 4,000 BC. Today, amaranth is predominantly cultivated in the tropics, where the grain is harvested up to three times a year. One grain has very small dimensions and weight.
Organic food always goes through a system of checks and certifications that ensures their quality and enables them to bear this designation. Their organic quality is particularly appreciated by people with an interest in organic farming and a sustainable farming system.
