I use the flour in cooking breads. YUMMY! Tastes like graham crackers but is strong so I mix with cinn. Have also had cereal with it and crackers. It's a complete protein I learned.
HTH.

Have you ever eaten the grain cooked, or only used it in baking (flour form)? I've seen it in some gf cold cereals/waffles as well and I'm tempted to try it because it looks yummy.
Thanks, Kate.

Amaranth is wonderful! I am gluten intolerant, so I've tried every non-gluten grain/mock-grain on the market. It is a very good breakfast food with soy or rice milk. You can also mix it with quinoa or millet for a more substantial meal because the grains are so tiny. Just make sure you cook it thoroughly or it will be hard on the teeth. When it's fully done it should be very easy to chew...just keep giving it water until it gets there.

The cereal I bought has 10 grams fiber per serving, and the dry type that you add water to has 7 grams fiber and 3 grams fat per 1/4 dry.
I have not had the guts to try either because of such a high IF amount. And I'm a C!

I've seen Amaranth in GF waffles as a main ingredient. I just wondered if they were yummy.

Millet is IF and quinoa is SF.
