This tiny-but-powerful super food is a high source of protein and is naturally gluten-free. But it also boasts some other impressive nutritional stats including a high lysine content.
Most grains like wheat are short on lysine, an amino acid, but that’s not the case for amaranth. This makes amaranth a complete protein, because it contains all the essential amino acids.
Like quinoa, amaranth is actually a seed not a grain.
Amaranth puffs are made from steaming the seed until it pops or puffs.
Certified organic, with no additives, amaranth puffs are a wholesome naturally gluten free cereal suitable for use in a variety of applications.
This product has been independently tested and certified gluten free.
