Sprouted Amaranth
Organic
Organic Sprouted Amaranth is naturally gluten free, with a fluffy texture and earthy taste. It’s an excellent source of protein and contains all 9 essential amino acids, making it a complete protein. This small but mighty seed is also a good source of iron and fibre. Cultivated for more than 8,000 years, amaranth was both a staple and ritual food for the Aztecs. It is a cousin to quinoa, spinach and beets – think of it as the earthy taste of beets with a texture like mini quinoa.
Sprouting amaranth aids in digestibility, reduces cook time, and enhances its taste and texture. Cooking sprouted amaranth is very easy, simply boil in water or broth.

Storage & Shelf Life
After sprouting, we carefully dry the grains back down to their shelf stable moisture levels. This means you can store them as you would store unsprouted whole grains – in a cool, dry place.
Once you cook your sprouted grains, they should be stored in an air-tight container in the fridge.
Shelf life: 2 years
