What is Amaranth and what are the benefits?
Amaranth is a nutritious grain, naturally gluten-free and provides plenty of fiber, protein and micronutrients. This is great news for the gluten-intolerant and those who want a nutritious healthy meal. Amaranth has excellent health benefits, including reduced inflammation, lower cholesterol levels, increased weight loss and it is believed the fiber it contains is great for treating diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and even cancer.
