Amaranth is a pseudo grain that can be sprouted, ground into a flour, toasted, made into porridge and many other uses. Great germination rate. resealable packaging. This pseudo grain was a staple food of the Aztecs and an integral part of Aztec religious ceremonies. The cultivation of amaranth was banned by the conquistadores upon their conquest of the Aztec nation. However, the plant has grown as a weed since then, so its genetic base has been largely maintained. Research on grain amaranth began in the United States in the 1970s. By the end of the 1970s, a few thousand acres were being cultivated there, and continue to be cultivated. Much of the amaranth grain currently grown is sold in heath food shops. Grain amaranth is also grown as a food crop in limited areas of Mexico, where it is used to make a candy called Alegria (Spanish for joy) at festival times. In other preparations, the grain can be popped like popcorn and then either mixed with honey, or served with milk, dried fruit and nuts like a cold breakfast cereal. Amaranth grain can also be used to extract amaranth oil, a pressed seed oil with commercial uses. 1 OZ = 21,000 seeds per order.
