Amaranth has become an important part of my diet. Amaranth was cultivated by the Aztecs and in other tropical climates, but is now experiencing a resurgence in popularity as a gluten-free protein. Though amaranth is derived from the fruit a flowering plant, it is often referred to as a grain so we’ll call it a grain here. Here are reasons to Use Amaranth Grain and even the leaves into your diet.
1. Eating Amarnath grain as a hot cereal in the morning because it is Gluten- free.
2. It is healthier to receive protein frm plant based sources than animals, because the latter often comes with fat and choolestrol.
3. Amaranth helps reduce risk of osteoporosis and other calcium deficiencies because it has twice the calcium as milk.
4. Expanding on the above, eating it helps with hair loss, juice the leaves and apply it after shampooing. I’ve never done it but people swear it helps moisturize and flatten wirey grey hair.
5. It’s the only grain to have vitamin C, but it’s high in vitamin E, iron, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium which are necessary for overall health. The leaves are high in vitamin C, vitamin A and folate.
6. While I can’t find an article to back this up, some cultures believe that amaranth greens are a natural way to improve eyesight. Eat them as salad or brew them in tea.
7. Amaranth is traditionally given to patients recovering from illness or people coming off of fasts. It’s the mix of amino acids that allows for very easy digestion.
